Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) Executive Director Dr. Iftekharuzzaman stated that corruption remains entrenched in Bangladesh, with political and administrative powers being misused for partisanship, extortion, and illegal occupation. Speaking at a press conference in Dhaka, he noted that while comparative data on corruption trends are lacking, the problem continues unabated. The event was held to present TIB’s recommendations for political party manifestos ahead of the upcoming national election. Dr. Iftekharuzzaman criticized the government for failing to take a stronger stance against corruption, despite having the opportunity to do so. He emphasized that building a democratic, inclusive, and corruption-free society is a long-term process, requiring genuine political will. He also highlighted the influence of money, muscle, and religion in politics as key obstacles to reform. TIB proposed 52 recommendations for political parties, including implementing past reform commission suggestions and ensuring accountability for human rights violations during authoritarian periods. The organization also called for greater transparency and fair competition in the business sector.
