Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has expressed deep frustration and anger over the government’s final approval of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Ordinance 2025, which omitted several strategic reform recommendations. In a statement released on Friday, TIB questioned whether the government’s pledge for state reform holds any real meaning or is merely rhetoric. The organization criticized the exclusion of proposals to establish an ACC Reform Commission and a Selection and Review Committee, arguing that this move undermines institutional independence, transparency, and accountability. TIB Executive Director Dr. Iftekharuzzaman described the decision as contradictory to the government’s own reform commitments. He claimed that at least seven advisers opposed the proposals despite earlier political consensus. TIB alleged that influential anti-reform elements within the government are obstructing genuine reform efforts, thereby weakening anti-corruption mechanisms. While acknowledging some improvements in the draft ordinance, TIB warned that the omission of key provisions raises serious concerns about the government’s sincerity in combating corruption.
