Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) announced that 236 members of the 13th National Parliament are millionaires, while 13 are centimillionaires. The disclosure came during a press conference held at TIB’s Dhanmondi office on Monday afternoon.

According to TIB, among the 236 millionaire lawmakers, 189 belong to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and 38 to Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. This means 90.87 percent of BNP’s members of parliament are millionaires, while 55.07 percent of Jamaat’s members fall into the same category.

The findings highlight the significant concentration of wealth among lawmakers in the newly formed parliament, as presented by TIB in its latest report.
