Re: [chottala.com] CARETAKER GOVERNMENT INCREASED THE AMOUNTS OF BRIBE


 CT government run a fake anti-corruption activities that actually
increased the amounts of bribes at all the government offices. The
officers who used to take 200 taka bribes now ask 2000 take bribe to do
the same job. If you go to RAJUK office, Nagar Bhaban (Dhaka Municipal
office), Controller of Export-Import office, Land Registration offices
etc. you will see how bribes are transacted in broad day light by each
and every clerks and officers of those offices which are even 5 to 10
times higher than two years ago. Bribe is actually dirty like yellow
stools which is eaten by dirty officers came from low-grade families
and generally paid by citizens who are filthy in morally.
Dear All
 
You have forgotten to mention the justice department ? A lot of people believe that the students who generally can't make good results in school, college or univeristy go to study law and ultimately become justice of high court or supreme court. Some people believe that the care taker government failure is related to some extent with the seperation of justice department with administration. Some people even understand that Bangladesh is a country where the administration and justice department should not be seperated at all. I have read a book called educationist v/s justice which explains some of these unequal argument.
 
Let us all pray for our betterment in future. It will really be very costly to maintain law and order as well as to control corruption if pree 1/11 comes back.

[chottala.com] Here is a guideline for ACC

Here is a guideline for ACC
How about randomly checking few of those wealth statements of government employees?
 
 
Don't you find it appalling that ACC is saying that "We have already sent a letter to the cabinet division asking for advice about dealing with the government servants' wealth reports." ??? Read the following article from New Age titled "ACC deluged with wealth statements of 12 lakh public servants - Writes to cabinet division for advice" - attached at the end of the article.
 
 
 
What is wrong with these ACC people? Can't you use your brain to figure out a strategy about how to proceed? You ask the government officials about how to investigate them?
 
Let us try to help you. How about this:
 
1. Based on you existing manpower, first declare how many weath statements you can deal with at any given time. Say for example, you determine that you have enough manpower to examine 100 wealth statement at any given time.
2. Then assign numbers to all those wealth statements (this part should have been already done) so that each of these statements are uniquely identifiable.
3. Then pick any 100 of those statements randomly and start investigating.
4. Spend one week to figure out whether there is any problem with any of those 100. Say for example, you find 5 of those are problematic. Separate these 5, assign investigators and start investigating in details.
5. Then draw you next 100 - again randomly picked.
6. Repeat step 4 and 5 on a continuous basis.
 
Make sense?
 
On a different note, are we being stupid here? It can't be true that those in the ACC can not figure out this simple thing. Goal of an anti-corruption action should be aimed at stopping any future corruption or reduce it. That does not mean that you should not look into the past. Rather you select in such a way that those investigated are representative of the whole group of govt. employees (we ensure that by selecting randomly). These will set examples that would act a lessons for others.
 
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columnists in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.

ACC deluged with wealth statements
of 12 lakh public servants
Writes to cabinet division for advice
Staff Correspondent

 

The Anti-Corruption Commi-ssion has sought advice from the government as to how to investigate and dispose of the wealth statements submitted by about 12 lakh government employees and officials.


   The commission's spokesman Col Hanif Iqbal told reporters at the regular briefing on Monday, 'We have already sent a letter to the cabinet division asking for advice about dealing with the government servants' wealth reports.'


   Since it would be time-consuming to deal with the statements of about 12 lakh public servants, the commission is considering ways to involve the departments concerned, said Hanif, also the commission's director general (administration).


   He also said that the commission would initiate its drive to combat institutional corruption.


   In this regard, the commission intends to start exchange of views with the chiefs and high-ups in different ministries and departments next month, he said.


   To begin with, the commission wants to sit with the land ministry in the second week of October and health ministry in the third week, with the communications ministry in the second week of November and local government division in the third week of that month, he added.


   According to him, the commission has already sent a letter to the cabinet secretary with an advice to provide the ministries with guidelines as to how they should act under the clean-up drive.


   About 12 lakh public servants submitted their wealth statements to the respective ministries and departments till February.


   Initially, the interim administration asked its officials and employees to submit wealth statements by December 31, 2007. But the deadline was extended by two months due to poor response from the public servants to the official order.


   In December, the government officials and employees were asked to submit their detailed wealth statements in the official forms by February 28 to respective ministries and departments.


   Against the backdrop of countrywide drives against corruption and crimes, the establishment ministry in an official order issued on August 28, 2007 asked all ministries and departments to ensure that the Government Employees (Conduct) Rules were properly implemented.


   The establishment ministry issued an order to all ministries, directorates and departments asking them to ensure that officials and employees submit updated wealth statements to the government by December 31 through proper channels as the government wanted to expedite the drives against corruption and make the officials more accountable.


   According to the Government Employees (Conduct) Rules, 1979, each employee from joining to retirement from service is obliged to submit their wealth statements to the authorities every five years.


   As no inquiry into the wealth statements submitted by the public servants till February has yet been conducted, the anti-graft watchdog has initiated the process for the inquiry and disposal of the statements, said sources in the commission.


   Hanif, however, said that the commission was yet to finalise as to how to involve relevant departments in the process.


   According to him, the commission will finalise it after consulting the high-ups in different departments and ministries.


   About the drive against institutional corruption, Hanif said the objectives of the proposed exchange of views were not to talk about corruption of individuals or to take action against individuals.


   'The main objective is to identify the areas and sources of corruption', he said.


   Without direct participation of government officials the campaign for rooting out institutional corruption would not be successful, he observed.


   He said the necessity of involving senior officials was felt because they knew how corruption took place in respective departments and which legal and structural weaknesses impelled one to indulge in corruption.


   He said in the proposed meetings emphasis could be placed on issues like how officials get involved in corruption, officers from which level get involved and what process make them beneficiary.


   Such meetings are likely to take place in the respective departments to be attended by officials above senior assistant secretary, he said.


   The commission spokesman said that it had decided to suspend inquiries and investigations against those who were referred to the Truth and Accountability Commission considering their clemency applications. The suspension of inquiries and investigations will continue until the Truth Commission disposes of the cases, he added.


   Hanif said that the commission had sent a list of seven more individuals to the Truth Commission on Sunday and another five persons applied for referring their cases to the clemency body.


   About the commission's annual report submitted to the president on Sunday, Hanif said that the report would be put in the public domain.

[chottala.com] Amar Desh served with legal notice by Prothom Alo and Daily Star

 
Amar Desh served with legal notice
Asked to apologise for malicious report
Staff Correspondent

A legal notice has been sent to the editor, publisher and a reporter of the daily Amar Desh for publishing a false, malicious and defamatory report about The Daily Star, Prothom Alo and Transcom Group.

The notice asked Amar Desh editor Ataus Samad, publisher Hasmot Ali and the correspondent concerned to immediately withdraw the false, malicious and defamatory report published in the daily (Amar Desh), to beg unconditional public apology and to publish the full rejoinder earlier sent to them.

Dr Kamal Hossain and Associates, on September 7 last, served the notice on behalf of Prothom Alo editor Matiur Rahman, The Daily Star editor-publisher Mahfuz Anam and Chairman and Managing Director of Transcom Group Latifur Rahman

The notice states that appropriate legal action will be taken against the respondents (editor, publisher and reporter of Amar Desh), if they don't act as per demands mentioned in the notice.

According to the statement of the legal notice, following the publication of a false, malicious and defamatory piece by Amar Desh on 3rd September 2008 on the front page, their clients had sent a rejoinder on the same date demanding the withdrawal of the report, unconditional public apology and printing the full rejoinder.

On 5th September Amar Desh published an abridged version of the said rejoinder and instead of either withdrawing the piece or apologising for it, it added a "correspondent's reply" which stated that "no false or distorted information was given deliberately". The correspondent's reply also added more unsubstantiated allegations against Latifur Rahman. In both instances, of the Amar Desh report on 3rd. September and in the correspondent's reply of 5th September no attempt was made to seek or "obtain any communication from our clients regarding any of the allegations made therein".

The legal notice concluded by stating that the three aforementioned demands be met "within the next three days" and further stating that "In default we are instructed to take appropriate legal action for the full cost and consequences of which you shall stand liable".
