ACC wants detailed expense records from Kuwait-Bangladesh Hospital

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today again issued a letter to Kuwait-Bangladesh Friendship Government Hospital seeking its record books, including bills and vouchers, to investigate graft allegations in accommodation and meal bills.

The hospital was also asked to submit information about the accommodation of the doctors and health workers during the Covid-19 crisis, spokesman of the Commission Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told UNB.

He said that ACC Director Mir Md Joynul Abedin sought the documents recording purchases of Covid-19 related equipment, bills and vouchers from the hotel where staff have been accommodated, issuing a letter in this regard.

The ACC also sought the specified documents by September 10. 

Earlier on August 9, ACC had asked for some documents from the hospital to investigate another graft allegation.

Earlier on August 3, the commission asked the managing director of Hotel Super Star Ltd and the director of Mugda 500-bed General Hospital to submit various information and records, including on the accommodation and meals of doctors, nurses and other staff engaged in providing medical services to Covid-19 patients.
