Corruption and nepotism
Ishfaqur, US
Bangladesh is being clobbered everyday because of its inability to tackle corruption and nepotism. The losers are the 130 million citizens, most of whom are as naive and honest as a baby. In an article you have mentioned that the government has decided to sweep under the carpet corruption charges against officers in the Prime Minister's Office. How can the government make its electorate and the rest of the world believe that it is sincere about eradicating corruption when it does not take effective measures to clean its house first, the PMO . The prime minister has to take the initiative to make sure that her own office is corruption free. There is a story of a prophet's (pbuh) sahabah, where he refrained from admonishing a child for eating too much sugar because he himself was into it. Only after he had quit, did he call the child to tell him that too much sugar was bad for him.
