ACC

The decision of the present govt. regarding the ACC in the cabinet meeting in presence of the prime minister has made the ACC inactive, like in the past regime before the caretaker govt. of 2007. Again it is proved that it is nothing but a constitutional body having no power to launch an anti-corruption drive. However, it is true that the role played by the ACC after coming to power in 2007 was quite controversial. The ACC had filed many cases against many politicians as well industrialists and businessmen as a part of the anti corruption drive following the set of rules to uproot corruption from the country. But it was quite impossible to solve this problem overnight because this had prevailed since the inception of Bangladesh.
That said, the step taken by the present govt. regarding ACC is questionable. The most difficult part of the thing is that they would have to take permission from the govt. to file any case against its officials. According to the experts, the ACC would again lose its momentum of work as well as independence to take stern action against the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.
