TIB urges govt to ensure transparency in financing
Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) yesterday underscored the need for ensuring transparency in financing and financial transactions to uphold the ideology of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The government has decided to observe the "Mujib Borsho" from March 17, 2020 to March 26, 2021 marking the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by holding various programmes throughout the year.
Until his last moments, Bangabandhu fought against ethnic repression, political deprivation, economic exploitation, corruption, irregularities, snatching democratic rights and other discrimination, the TIB said in a statement.
After independence, Bangabandhu expressed his concern and disappointment to a section of people for their indulgence in corruption, it said.
Alongside his government's call to boycott the corrupts socially, he called upon common people to stand against them.
Saying that Bangabandhu left behind effective strategies and guidelines against corruption, TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman called upon the government, political leaders and other stakeholders to build a corruption-free and well-governed country after being encouraged by the ideology of the Father of the Nation on the occasion of his birth centenary to ensure transparency and accountability in financing and financial transaction in the country.
