The government is taking stern action to apprehend corrupt individuals in the financial sector, including their so-called "godfathers," Finance and Commerce Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed said today (7 September).
Speaking to reporters after a meeting at the Bangladesh Institute of Governance and Management (BIGM) in Dhaka, Salehuddin said that strict measures are being implemented against these corrupt figures. As a preliminary step, the bank accounts of several high-profile individuals have been frozen.
He added that the next phase involves legal proceedings. "We will ensure swift action to bring them to justice following thorough investigations," he stated.
Salehuddin also addressed concerns about market manipulation, saying, "The government is taking a strict stance against market manipulators. Deputy Commissioners have been instructed to implement necessary measures. Regular market supervision will be conducted to ensure fair pricing for producers as well."
