The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) of Bangladesh will verify the affidavits submitted by candidates in the upcoming 13th national parliamentary election, ACC Chairman Abdul Momen announced on Monday. Speaking at a meeting with the newly elected committee of Reporters Against Corruption (RAC), he said that any discrepancies found in candidates’ asset declarations would lead to legal action. The Election Commission has been instructed to immediately inform the ACC if inconsistencies are detected.
Momen emphasized that there would be no compromise on corruption, asserting that the ACC would maintain its firm stance even if new laws allowed for leniency. He noted that the ACC’s investigations are bound by legal time limits, making it unlikely that all inquiries could be completed before the election. However, he encouraged anyone with specific evidence to submit it for prompt legal action.
He also urged RAC members to assist by examining candidates’ information and forwarding any verified suspicions to the ACC, assuring that all actions would follow the commission’s legal framework.
