The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has formally asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to remove Saima Wazed Putul, daughter of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, from her position as WHO’s Southeast Asia Regional Director. Allegations include corruption and unethical influence used to secure the role, along with misusing power to obtain a plot in Purbachal. The ACC launched an investigation on January 15 after verifying preliminary evidence. Additionally, the Bangladesh government has notified WHO of its decision to work directly with the organization due to financial and criminal cases against Putul. She was appointed as Regional Director in February 2024, but her qualifications and legitimacy for the role are under scrutiny.
