I am not afraid, says Khulna mayor Tayebur

Khulna City Mayor Sheikh Tayebur Rahman has said he would submit his wealth statement within the stipulated time after receiving the notice from Anti Corruption Commission (ACC).
“I am not at all afraid of sale of my name in the print media as one of the eighty high-profile corrupt suspects. Because, I live an honest life with my honest income”, the Mayor said.
Praising present government's move against corruption, he said he would accept ACC notice with thanks. “Because, I have nothing to conceal”, he said.
Sheikh Tayebur Rahman said he had a sound sleep Thursday night hearing the news that he was on the list of 80 corrupt suspects.
“The government's suspicion will go when my wealth statement will be proved transparent in an impartial investigation”, he said.
The ongoing drive against corruption by the government will certainly make the country prosperous and hold its image high in the world, city mayor said.
“Those who looted wealth of the country must be brought to book and given exemplary punishment. The country can not hope anything good from a woman who used to waste much time of a day for her hair”, the mayor said.
