DHAKA, Aug 26, 2018 (BSS) – The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today
conducted a drive at Cumilla civil surgeon office over receipt the
allegations of taking Taka 8000-9000 as bribe from people for giving health
certificates to go abroad.
Talking about the drive, ACC’s Director General (admin) Mohammad Munir
Chowdhury said, “The drive was conducted on specific allegations and aimed at
stopping corruption in distributing health certificates among the people, who
wanted to go abroad.”
A two-member team of the ACC conducted the drive and inquired about
allegations received by its hotline 106 and came to know that the people who
wanted to go abroad have to pay bribe for getting health certificates.
They have also been compelled to conduct some medical tests at private
hospitals instead of public hospitals and have become victim of corruption
and irregularities.
While talking to ACC personnel, the civil surgeon of Cumilla has promised
to stop such irregularities and corruption in a week.
The ACC team later distributed anti-graft leaflets among the people to
make them aware against corruption.
