TIB forms human chain
Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) Natore unit yesterday morning formed a human chain in front of Natore Press Club demanding reconsideration of a cabinet proposal for amendment to ACC Act 2004. Addressing a rally, president of TIB Natore unit Amzad Hossain said the present government's electoral pledge was to strengthen ACC, but actually the government is doing the opposite by making amendment to ACC Act. "We hope the government will reconsider its move, otherwise the government itself will become the worst sufferer," he cautioned. TIB Natore unit member Poritosh Adhikari said, curbing corruption is impossible unless and until the ACC is strengthened. It will be nothing but cheating with people if the government goes away from its electoral pledges, he added. If the ACC is unable to work independently, its negative impact falls on human rights, the speakers said. So, they urged the government to reconsider the cabinet proposal.
