ACC chairman against cancellation of TIB registration

Anti-Corruption Commission Chairman M Badiuzzaman yesterday said the registration of Transparency International Bangladesh should not be cancelled.

"I don't want to make any comment about what parliament has said," he told reporters at the inauguration of the 11th anniversary of ACC before its headquarters. Though TIB has some objectionable activities, its registration should not be cancelled as its works globally, he said.

On Wednesday, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Ministry recommended cancellation of TIB's registration for making "derogatory" remarks on parliament.

On October 25, a TIB report said the effectiveness of the House was under question due to unprecedented appendage of the so-called opposition party.
