Law Adviser Mainul Hosein has said it is not possible to try all the offences, but some offenders have been tried to send out a signal to others so they abstain from wrongdoings.
"It has not been possible to try all the offences in any country of the world, some offenders are tried to set examples," he told a function marking the distribution of share certificates of Dhaka Reporters (DRU) Unity's multipurpose cooperative Ltd at its auditorium.
Energy Adviser Tapan Chowdhury was present at the function as special guest.
The law adviser said now it is not that much important to detect who had committed how much corruption in the past as "we'll have to work with a positive attitude."
In his self-evaluation of the caretaker government's activities in the past eight months, he said, "We had to do many things out of compulsion, but now we perceive many things were not done correctly."
Mainul said the politicians caused harm to themselves by patronising politicisation in every sector in the past, resulting in a horrible situation.
The adviser said, "If we fail to establish a good government and justice, people's aspirations will not be fulfilled."
He urged the journalist community to project the ills and wrongdoings of the society so the government could take actions to have remedies.
Mainul again said the present government is not only working for holding elections but also for establishing good governance.
