Kuwait Maitree Hospital: ACC asks director for documents
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has asked the director of Kuwait-Bangladesh Maitree Hospital to provide different documents, including the ones with backdated signatures of Dr Soheli Parvin and Dr Mamunur Rashid.
ACC's director Mir Md Zainul Abedin Shebly made the request in a letter.
ACC is enquiring into allegations against Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) and different hospital officials and staff, who have made huge money through procuring sub-standard PPE, masks and other medical equipment for doctors treating Covid-19 patients.
As a part of the enquiry, ACC sought the information.
In the letter, ACC asked for the bill and vouchers where Soheli and Mamunur signed with backdates.
According to media reports, Dr Sehabuddin, superintendent of the hospital, allegedly bought equipment for Covid-19 treatment at 10 times the actual price.
Soheli and Mamunur were purchase committee members. On August 25, they were forced to sign on procurement related papers, sources said.
The Daily Star tried to reach Dr Sehabuddin for comments over phone but failed.
ACC also asked the hospital director to provide details of items procured between March and August, about suppliers and attested copies of contract papers.
In the letter, ACC asked the director to provide information on the amount of money given to suppliers and status of PPE stock, masks and other equipment.
The hospital authority was asked to provide the information by September 10.
