A parliamentary committee has directed officials to remain vigilant in all procurement activities of the Bangladesh National Parliament Secretariat to prevent irregularities similar to past scandals. The directive was issued during a committee meeting held at the National Parliament Building, chaired by Chief Whip Md. Nurul Islam Moni. The meeting also reviewed the malfunction of the Parliament’s sound system, with an investigation committee already working on the issue and expected to submit its report by April 2.

The committee emphasized ensuring high quality and reasonable pricing in the purchase of furniture and other items. It also discussed problems with the supply of safe drinking water and noted that steps have been taken to resolve them. The Chief Whip expressed hope that all members of parliament would soon be able to move into their residences.

Two sub-committees were formed to identify the causes of the sound system malfunction and to assess the quality of canteen food, water supply, and furniture used in the parliament members’ residences.
