The activities of the ACC are seriously being hindered due to lack of manpower, as the workload of the commission has increased in the changed situation.

"The National Implementation Committee on Administrative Reforms (Nicar) will sit tomorrow to decide the proposed changes in the ACC organogram. The number of personnel is going to be raised to 1,281 from the existing 650. If the organogram is approved, the commission will be more functional," new ACC Secretary Mokhlesur Rahman said in a regular briefing of the commission yesterday.

He said six divisional offices will be functional subject to the approval of the organogram. He said there will be 22 district offices in the country.

About the complaints received by the ACC, he said the commission is scrutinising the complaints and the complaints that are not related with the ACC will be forwarded to the respective departments. "If we undertake all the complaints, the main task will be hindered," he commented.
