Credit where credit is due. The key to this success was hiring right people for the right job. This should apply to all projects and missions that have long term implications for the nation.
Those laughable sycophantic noises will always be there, as we all know. It's their 'stock' in trade'! Here the quality of 'expertise' is sadly missing. They are mostly circumstantial high-ups. It's good news for BD and that must be recognised and credit attributable to good work has to be recognised .Worth reminding ourselves, that's exactly what they have been “voted in” to do.

Bravo, editor, for his nice piece of commentary.

Both leaders only care about grabbing power and staying in power.

Awesome piece of journalism. Sufferings of the people know no bounds when these ministers indulge in such luxury. When will this ever end? The Daily Star is doing a great job. I wish other newspapers would take a queue and expose the misuse of power in this manner.

I hope Sheikh Hasina reads it. Thank you, The Daily Star, for publishing this and other investigative reports.

Is she also not a beneficiary of this corruption? How much extra privileges her own people take from different public offices? What difference would it make, Dr. Habib, if you even personally read the report to her?

Excellent work exposing these vices!

Traffic jam could be reduced at least 25% if this illegal use of cars was stopped. Even the ex-wives of these corrupt officials and ministers might be using those cars at the cost of public money.

I would rather be surprised if there were no corruption in LGED.

It has nowadays become a fashion for government officials to use luxury cars having flag stands. If peons and orderlies can become millionaires overnight due to their connection with high-ups, then it is obvious that a person like Atiar Rahman of LGED will have the audacity to take two cars from projects for his present and divorced wives. The government should immediately ban use of flag stands in cars that are not used by cabinet members. Stern punitive measures should be taken against all offenders.

Very shocking that even an accountant uses a car!
Mohammad Rahman
They do not have the basic instinct of shame as a human being. The LGRD minister should be held accountable for such corruption in his ministry.
