Preface

Corruption is an issue of discussion all over the world. There are corruption incidences in all countries of the world. Corruption also has purview in our country. While Bangladesh is going forward in different social indicators; the common people to many experts feel that corruption, in many ways, is disrupting the advancement of Bangladesh's immense possibilities. It is hindering the country's economic development, poverty alleviation initiatives, infrastructural development, and employment growth. This land has a long history of corruption. Different measures were taken to combat and prevent corruption since it was first identified as a crime. On the eve of the 21st century, Bangladesh was listed as one of the most corrupt countries of the world for more than once in the survey of Berlin based organization Transparency International. It tarnished the image of Bangladesh abroad. In this context, Anti Corruption Commission Act, 2004 was enacted by abolishing the previous anti corruption watchdog of the country 'Bangladesh Bureau of Anti Corruption' on the basis of the concerns and demands of everyone along with the common people, civil society, politicians, international donor organizations and mass media. The independent Anti Corruption Commission was established on 21 November 2004 in the light of this Act. The incumbent Commission is uncompromisingly determined to discharge its duties properly.

The Commission does not hesitate to take necessary legal actions after receiving any information or allegations of corruption. Today's reality is that several cases are lodged against many of the government officials, professionals, politicians, opulent businessmen and other persons of the society on specific corruption allegations. Many of them have already faced penalties in the trial courts. The operation of the Commission against corruption is being conducted strongly. Everyone has to realize that the crime of corruption is very sensitive one. Documentary evidences and genuine witness-proofs are the key elements to combat such crime. The Commission equipoise each enquiry or investigation and on the basis of sufficient documentary evidences and witnesses, it takes decision to lodge cases or otherwise. The social, political or professional identity of the person hardly bears any importance to the Commission in this regard. However, the ACC is criticized for its different enquiry or investigative initiative. We appreciate such types of criticisms, but, the criticisms should be constructive and information based.

Anti Corruption Commission believes in free flow of information. The information flow will be continued to ensure the transparency and accountability of the actions of the Commission. According to the Section 29(1) of Anti Corruption Commission Act, 2004, the Commission is submitting Annual Report of 2014 like last year to the Honourable President. This report envisaged the massive initiative of the Commission in 2014.

The Anti Corruption Commission is working in full swing to minimize corruption to a moderate level in the country in collaboration with all of you. The ongoing anti-corruption drives will be continued in full efforts to be constantly dynamic and effective.

Anti Corruption Commission: Background & About

1.1. Anti Corruption Commission: Background

Corruption is one of the obstacles to national progress. It is putting a barrier to economic development, poverty alleviation, infrastructural development, employment growth of the country. Each scripture has expressed strict stance against corruption. The existence of corruption can be found in the history of ancient India. There are details of the different types of corruption in Chanakya's 'Arthashastra' . Initiatives to prevent corruption are also ancient. The Penal Code, 1860 defined some criminal activities as corrupt practices by articulating provisions of conviction against them. However, before the introduction of the Penal Code, there were provisions for conviction against such crimes in this country. In this case, it can be said that the enactment of the Penal Code, 1860 created a legal framework for corruption related crime in the criminal justice system.

In 1944, the then British Government had taken official measures to curb corruption of public officials by issuing an ordinance. Later, the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947 was enforced in 1947. The Police Department was entrusted to implement the law on combating corruption. As the desired result was not achieved, in 1957 a separate government department such as Bangladesh Bureau of Anti-Corruption was established by enacting Anti Corruption Act, 1957 to conduct anti corruption activities. Though initially it started as temporary office, the Bureau of Anti-Corruption started its operation as permanent office in 1967. The then BAC did not have legal scope to enquire and investigate into allegations of corruption independently. On the eve of the 21st century, Bangladesh was identified as one of the most corrupt countries of the world in the survey of Transparency International. In this regard, in view of the demand of the common people, development partners, civil society, politicians, and mass media, the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) was established by abolishing "Bangladesh Bureau of Anti-Corruption " on November 21, 2004.

2.1. Receiving Corruption Allegation/s:

The Commission takes legal measures against specific allegations under the scheduled offences of ACC

Act, 2004. The Commission is unable to take any lawful actions when the allegations do not include the

scheduled one.

2.1.1. ACC's Considerations after Receiving Allegations:

The ACC takes legal actions if anyone lodges a complaint against anybody acquiring illegal wealth and

money mentioning his name, designation/profession and detailed address with the following

information -

+ Immovable property (house, flat, plot, land, etc) along with location, amount,

approximate price, detailed address.;

+ Specific information about bank account, share, FDR, savings-certificates;

+ Registration number/ type of vehicle/s;

+ Location, type and full address of business organisation; and

+ Description of incompatible lifestyle with known sources of income.

The following information is needed if the allegation is for the embezzlement and damage of public

money/assets -

+ Amount and time of embezzled money/ assets;

+ When and how the valuables were embezzled; by belonging to which capacity.

+ The details of the accomplices of the embezzlement and how it took place.

The corruption allegations also can be submitted if the alleged one becomes beneficiary or makes

others beneficiary or incurs loss to anybody else or damages the state's assets by misusing power.

However, the allegations should be specific with supporting information and documents. At least the

following information must be available -

+ Description and time of allegations;

+ Supporting information and documents of allegations; and

+ Name of the alleged person (designation, if available) and detailed address.

After receiving the allegations, the Commission considers the following issues:

+ Whether the allegation is a scheduled offence of the Commission or not;

+ Whether the allegation is specific and informative or not;

+ Whether the period of the offence is mentioned or not;

+ Involvement of the alleged person with the allegation;

+ The detailed address of the alleged person/s mentioned or not; and

+ Importance and purview of the allegation.

2.2 Enquiries

2.2.1. Legal Basis of Enquiries:

Conducting enquiries into the specific complaints of scheduled offences are the principal statutory

functions of the Commission (Section 17(a) of the ACC Act, 2004). Outputs of enquiries are the primary

elements of prosecuting corruption related offences. Sections 19 and 20 of the ACC Act, 2004 confer

special powers to the Commission to conduct enquiries. For this end in view, the ACC is conducting

enquiry related activities through three Wings (Enquiry & Investigation Wing, Special Enquiry &

Investigation Wing, and Pending Matters & Inspection Wing).

Section 35(1) of the ACC Act, 2004, stipulates that the

Bureau of Anti Corruption was dissolved from the date

of setting up of the Commission. Along with the

provision to repeal the Bureau, the enquiries,

investigations or pending approvals of the Bureau came

under the Commission's purview which are executed by

Pending Matters & Inspections Wing under section

38(3) of the ACC Act, 2004.

The branches of Enquiries & Investigations Wing, and

Pending Matters & Inspection Wing supervise field-

level enquiries related activities of the six divisional and

22 integrated district offices.

The Special Enquiries & Investigation Wing of the

Commission looks after the specialized assignments for

enquiry. The functions of the Wing include conducting

enquiries into money laundering and other financial

and commercial matters, holding enquiry into

institutional corruption, trapping the corrupt and other

specialized operations.

2.2.2. Statistics on ACC's Enquiry Operations

The Commission struggles with a huge number of unresolved enquiries from the previous year. There

were 3,121 pending enquiries in 2013. In spite of having those pending enquiries, the ACC took 4,654

fresh enquiries in 2014. The Commission has successfully resolved 3,775 enquiries from a total of 7,775.

Based on these completed enquiries the Commission has lodged 333 cases (FIR). The remaining

completed enquiries have been filed for record. Figure-3 shows Comparison of enquiry completion and

lodging of case (FIR) in 2014.

39

The Prioritized Issues for Conducting Enquiry:

1. Money laundering;

2. Land, land revenue and lease;

3. Bribes (finance, assets and services);

4. Illegal attainment of movable or immovable assets;

5. Corruption in construction works and communication sector;

6. Implementation of development projects and corruption in private sector;

7. Duty and tax, revenue, businessmen/ business organizations;

8. Public procurement, issuance of licence;

9. Criminal breach of trust and misuse of power;

10. Other offences mentioned in the schedule of the ACC Act, 2004.

Figure-4: ACC's Performance in completion of wealth enquiries and filing cases (FIR) in 2014.

Pending Matters Enquiries

The Pending Matters & Inspection Wing of ACC made a list of pending matters of the defunct BAC after it

was abolished. Accordingly, the number of pending complaints and pending enquiries were 7,398 and

2,694 respectively. Altogether, the number of pending matters was 10,083. The Commission undertook

3,262 pending enquiries in 2014 along with 600 pending matters of the previous year. Among these

enquiries, the Commission completed 2,606 enquiries and lodged 28 cases (FIR) on the basis of these

enquiries. Table-6 gives a clear idea about this matter.

Table-6: ACC's performance in completion of pending enquires in 2014

The Table 6 shows that the number of lodged cases (FIR) based on completed enquiries is few. The main

reasons behind it are unavailability of supporting documents to lodge cases, authenticity of allegations,

lack of witness, insufficient support from the plaintiff, death of alleged or related persons, etc. Many of

the evidences were destroyed due to official process but those evidences have been necessary to prove

the allegations.

2.3. Investigation

2.3.1. Legal Basis of Investigation

Conducting the investigation of the corruption related offences is the principal statutory function of the Commission (Section 17(a) of the ACC Act, 2004). The outputs of the investigation are the basic ingredients of prosecuting the corruption related offences. Sections 19 and 20 of the ACC Act, 2004 confers special power to the Commission in respect of investigation. In that regard, the Commission is conducting the investigative operations under three wings. They are Enquiry & Investigation Wing, Special Enquiry & Investigation Wing, and Pending Matters & Inspection Wing which are assigned to look after the investigation related matters of the Commission.

The branches and the sections of Enquiry & Investigation Wing, and Pending Matters & Inspection Wing supervise field-level investigation related activities conducted by 6 Divisional Offices and 22 Integrated District Offices. Besides, these wings investigate the cases lodged by different stakeholders and numerous sources. The specialized assignments for investigation are looked after by Special Enquiry & Investigation Wing of the Commission.

2.3.2. Statistics of Investigations Undertaken by the Commission

The number of total unresolved investigations was 1,836 in 2013. With those, the ACC undertook 1,461 fresh investigations in 2014. The Commission successfully resolved 1,067 investigations from which 484 charge-sheets were submitted. Figure-5 shows the number of investigations completed and charge-sheets submitted and Table-7 provides the statistics of the Division-wise investigations.

Investigations of Pending Matters & Inspection Wing

The Commission completed 397 pending investigations out of 716 and submitted 154 charge-sheets in 2014. Table-11 shows the performance in resolving pending investigations in 2014.

Table-11: Statistics of investigations on pending cases in 2014

Trap Related Issues:

The Commission takes necessary steps to trap people red-handed who are involved in the corruption related offences set out in the schedule. Before paying bribe, if anybody informs the concerned officer of the ACC Head Office or nearest ACC office about any government official/ employee or elected or nominated public representative claiming bribe for any work, the Commission arranges to trap the bribe-taker red-handed. The aim of these drives is to prevent corruption from its source in the country. Table-12 highlights the Commission's performance in dealing with investigations of trap cases in 2014.

2.4. Enquiries and Investigations on Institutional Corruption

2.4.1. Background of Enquiries and Investigations on Institutional Corruption

In order to make the public service providing organisations dynamic, the government has to combat and prevent different irregularities, practices of taking bribes and corruption within these organisations. Corruption usually spreads in different public offices due to delay in discharging duties. People receive various services from public organisations.

The ACC believes that in order to eliminate corruption from the public administration, there were little changes since independence of the country. The high officials of different ministries and divisions are taking stricter measures than before against their subordinate officials and employees to examine the complaints of corruption or administrative irregularities.

The Commission has undertaken several programmes on the basis of the recommendations from

Exchange of Views on anti-corruption held at Upazila, District and Metropolitan levels. Institutional

corruption prevention initiatives are taken in different ministries and departments, directorates,

divisions to halt corruption. In the first phase, Exchange of Views on prevention of corruption is being

arranged in different ministries and offices and divisions under the ministries. High officials of the

ministries and of departments, and divisional heads of the concerned departments and division have

the opportunity to express their opinions.

According to the ACC Act, 2004, the Commission reserves any rights to take necessary actions to prevent

corruption. Since 2008, the ACC has been conducting its enquiries and investigations on institutional

corruption in the country. The Commission has formed several teams with skilled officials to combat and

prevent corruption on the basis of complaints lodged by service receivers of public bodies. The ACC

officials were directed to perform their duties within specific Terms of Reference (ToR). The main

responsibilities of the institutional teams are to identify the reasons behind corruption, to inform the

authority with a view to making service delivery better and to take legal actions of any corruption

related offences revealed during inspection. At this moment, the activities of the Commission to

combat and prevent institutional corruption are being operated in 11 organisations. Each team

comprises three to five members.

2.4.2. Statistics of Enquiries on Institutional Corruption Undertaken by the ACC

The teams formed by the ACC enquired into 181 complaints including previous 174 by unveiling 07

new corruption facts in 2014. Among these, 18 were resolved by lodging cases (FIR) and 27 by filing

for records. Figure-7 and Table-13 provide the statistics of enquiries on institutional corruption in

2014.

news published in several national dailies in this regard. After analysis of the allegation, it is

found that the alleged persons submitted forged export contract/documents for

embezzlement of huge amount of money from Bhaban Corporate Branch, Moghbazar

Branch and Elephant Road Branch of Janata Bank Limited, Dilkusha Branch of Jamuna Bank

Ltd., Motijheel Branch of Premier Bank Ltd., Motijheel Branch of Prime Bank Ltd. and from

Eskaton Branch of Shahjalal Islami Bank Ltd., through Bismillah Group and its associated

companies. The concerned bank managers including officials by violating Guidelines for

Foreign Exchange Transaction 2009, being profited or hoping to be profited, adjusted the

fake/forged accommodation bills to the effect that goods had been exported by the

companies though it was not done. Later on, without showing any objection against 'Back to

Back Letter of Credit (LC)' of Bismillah Group, they assisted directly the alleged Khaza

Solaiman Anwar Chowdhury with others to misappropriate money through corruption,

fraud and forgery. The bank officials committed offences under MLPA, 2012 by issuing FDBP

against fake export bill, opening 'Back to Back LC' against Sales Contract and disbursing

'Forced Loans' from the banks. Twelve cases (FIR) were lodged against the alleged persons

under Section 4 (2), (3) of MLPA, 2012 with several police stations after the approval of the

Commission on the basis of the enquiry report.

Amount of Money Embezzled and Laundered:

In the 12 cases, total alleged persons are 53 and amount of embezzled and laundered money

is BDT 1174.46 crore. Four investigation officers of the Commission already submitted

investigation reports of the cases. Further lawful measures will be taken according to the

decision of the Commission.

2.5.4. Case Study- 04

Punishment against the allegation of accumulating wealth beyond known sources of income

Engineer Mohammad Abdul Malek, Former Superintendent Engineer, Roads and Highway

Department (RHD)

Acting on a tip-off, the ACC itself initiated an enquiry against Md Abdul Malek, Former

Superintendent Engineer, Roads and Highway Department (RHD) against the allegation of

accumulating wealth beyond known sources of income. After the completion of the enquiry, the

Commission lodged a case (FIR) with Dhanmondi Police Station against Md. Abdul Malek and his

wife Ambia Khatun for possessing a fixed deposit of Taka 3,01,00,000, savings of Taka 40,00,000,

five luxurious flats in the capital and several other movable and immovable properties beyond

known sources of income, under Section 5 (2) of Corruption Prevention Act, 1947 and Section

109 of the Penal Code.

It is to be noted that the alleged, Abdul Malek, hid wealth equivalent to BDT 4,41,36,995 earned

from beyond known sources from his income tax return too. Similarly, the total amount of

movable and immovable assets of his wife, Ambia Khatun, a housewife, is equivalent to BDT

2,19,81,504. It is established in investigation that the asset possessed by the alleged Ambia

Khatun came from her husband's illicit income – the assets of both earned from beyond known

sources, which was equivalent to BDT 6,61,18,499. It is mentioned that, most part of the assets

earned from beyond known sources was not shown in their income tax returns. Even, according to

the Government Servants (Conduct) Rules, 1979, Abdul Malek did not take any permission from

the government with a view to accumulating the wealth.

As Md Abdul Malek, Former Superintendent Engineer of Roads and Highway Department (RHD),

committed an offence for accumulating wealth in his own name as a public servant under Sections

5 (1) (e) of Corruption Prevention Act, 1947 and in the name of his wife, Mrs. Ambia Khatun for

accumulating wealth equivalent to BDT 6,61,18,499 earned from beyond known sources under 5

(2) of Corruption Prevention Act, 1947 and Section 109 of Penal Code, A charge sheet was

submitted to the court for trial against the accused under the sections mentioned.

The court sentenced a seven-year imprisonment with a fine of Taka one lac, in case of default, one

year more imprisonment on 02/04/2014 to accused Md Abdul Malek, former Superintendent

Engineer of Roads and Highway Department (RHD), for amassing wealth through illegal means in

case no. 289/11 of Metropolitan Sessions and Senior Special Judge Court, Dhaka. Besides, the

court forfeited the convict's FDR equivalent to BDT 3.1 crore, savings equivalent to BDT 30 lac in

the name of his wife, four flats in the capital's Dhanmondi area and one in Gulshan and a five-

storey building in Pallabi area.

The allegation enquired into and investigated by the then Inspector (Now- Deputy Director) S M M

Akhtar Hamid Bhuiyan.

2.6. Prosecution

2.6.1. Legal Basis of Prosecution Mandate

According to Section 17 (b) of the ACC Act, 2004, the Commission can lodge cases (FIR) and conduct

cases on the basis of enquiry and investigation into the offences set out in the schedule. For treating as

corruption offences, the schedule refers to the ACC Act, 2004; the Prevention of Corruption Act ,1947;

the MLPA , 2012; Sections 161-169, 217, 218, 408, 409, 420, 462A, 462B, 466, 468, 469, 471A and 477A

of the Penal Code, 1860; and Section 109 (abetment), Section 120B (conspiracy), and Section 511A

(attempt) of the Penal Code committed in the connection with any offence under sub-sections (a), (b),

(c), (d) of this Section.

Section 32 (a) of the ACC Act ,2004 confers the sole authority of the Commission to approve lodging

cases (FIR) against these offences to be cognizable. Section 28 (1) of the ACC Act, 2004 stipulates that

the trial of corruption related offences will be done by a Special Judge. According to Section 28 (2), the

Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1958, with the exception of sub-sections 6 (5) and 6, shall be applicable

for prosecutions and appeals of corruption cases. However, in case of any conflict between the Criminal

Law Amendment Act, 1958 and the Anti Corruption Commission Act, 2004 the latter will prevail over the

former (Section 28 (3) of the ACC Act).

The Legal and Prosecution Wing is responsible for supervising the matters related to legal and prosecution

and submit the updates regarding the conduct of anti-corruption cases to the Commission. A Director

General leads this Wing and Legal and Prosecution are supervised separately by two Directors.

The ACC Act, 20004 allows the Commission to have its own prosecution unit consisting of the required

number of prosecutors in order to conduct the cases before the Special Judge (Section 33 (a)). At

present, the Commission appoints separate panel of lawyers on contractual basis to conduct corruption

cases on behalf of the Commission in the Special Judge Courts and the Supreme Court of Bangladesh.

Thirteen-member lawyers' panel who are called as 'Public Prosecutors', is working in the thirteen

Special Judge Courts of Dhaka. Besides, 59 lawyers are working in Dhaka Division, 34 lawyers in

Chittagong, 49 lawyers in Rajshahi, 26 lawyers in Khulna, 19 lawyers in Barisal, and 19 lawyers in Sylhet.

2.6.2. Conducting Cases at Judicial Courts

The Commission got 243 cases disposed of by the Special Judge Courts by December 2014, of which 159

(65.43%) cases were lodged by the Commission and the remaining 84 (34.57%) inherited from the

defunct Bureau of Anti Corruption (BAC). Rates of punishments are 46% in ACC's lodged cases and 33%

in the defunct BAC cases. Table-15 provides statistics of trials of corruption related cases in the Special

Judge Courts at the end of December, 2014.

2.7. Research, Experiment, Prevention and Mass Awareness

2.7.1. Legal Basis of Research and Prevention Activities

Promotion of values of honesty and integrity to prevent corruption and taking measures to build mass-

awareness against corruption in the country are key mandates of the Commission. Six out of 11

functions of the ACC stipulated in Section 17 of the ACC Act, 2004 fall under the purview of corruption

prevention. To turn these mandates into concrete actions, the Commission has been constituting

Corruption Prevention Committees at the upazila, district and metropolitan levels as well as 'Integrity

Units' at educational institutions. The Commission organizes various events throughout the country and

produces reading materials and posters aiming to sensitize people against corruption.

2.7.2. Corruption Prevention Movement with the Participation of Social Power

Corruption Prevention Committee (CPC):

The ACC has adopted corruption prevention initiatives in order to expedite a national social movement

to prevent corruption with spontaneous participation of people from all walks of social life. Corruption

Prevention Committees have been formed at upazila, district and metropolitan levels in order to create

mass awareness about corruption prevention in every corner of the country. Committees were formed

in 427 upazilas, 62 districts, one metropolitan and 8 regional metropolitans of the country till now.

According to the policies, the District and Metropolitan Corruption Prevention Committees are formed

comprising not more than 13 members and Upazila Corruption Prevention Committees are formed

comprising not more than 9 members. One-third of the members are women, wherever possible. A

President, two Vice-Presidents and a General Secretary will be nominated from the members of the

committee. All the members of the committee are nominated by the Commission and they are

responsible to the Commission for maintaining liaison with Divisional Offices/ Integrated District

Offices. An adult Bangladeshi citizen will be qualified to be nominated as a member of the committee

for a specific jurisdiction. Any foreign national, elected public representative, public officials, activist of

any political party, any insane or bankrupt person declared by court, loan defaulters, persons accused of

any criminal offence or convicted by court will not be considered to be a member of the committee. In

fact, the Corruption Prevention Committees are voluntary, comprising honest and active people from a

cross section of the society including teachers, religious leaders and former government officials.

The ACC spent considerable time in constitution and reconstitution of Corruption Prevention

Committees in 9 metropolitan, 62 districts and 427 upazilas in 2014. Division-wise numbers of

Corruption Prevention Committee in upazila, district and metropolitan level are given in Table-18.

'Integrity Unit'- Anti Corruption Platform for the Youth

It is easier to build a corruption free Bangladesh by instilling attitude against corruption in the present and future generations. In addition to preventing the spread of corruption, the Commission has initiated different awareness raising programs among the students of educational institutions to build a corruption free society in future. The less corrupt countries of the world put a great emphasis on awareness raising programs in educational institutions. With a view to developing a sense of honesty and integrity in the youths in the light of the experiences of those countries and institutionalizing their voice against corruption, the Commission has formed 'Integrity Units' comprising the students of schools, colleges and madrasahs under the supervision of Corruption Prevention Committee. An executive committee of each 'integrity unit' comprises 11 members.

These units work as associate bodies of Corruption Prevention Committees to create awareness against corruption and promote integrity among the young generation. With the assistance of Corruption Prevention Committees, Integrity Units organize seminars, workshops, discussions, drama, debate and essay competition in different districts and towns, which are participated by school and college going students. The ACC distributed thousands of posters inscribed with “Honesty is the best policy” and “We shall not involve ourselves in corruption, nor tolerate it, nor accept it” among the members of Integrity Units. Every Integrity Unit helps students become more endeavoring to build moral character, develop education and health, and conserve climate and environment as part of anti corruption initiatives. A great eagerness and enthusiasm were observed among the students in this regard.

The ACC distributes crests, testimonials and awards among the winners of the aforesaid competitions. Prevention & Mass Awareness Cell is organising different anti corruption competitions in phases as part of student awareness programs in educational institutions across the country. These efforts of the ACC will continue to build moral attitude among the future generation of the country. The Commission will continue its untiring efforts to develop moral attitudes in the future leaders of the country through these programs.

2.7.3. Statistics on Prevention Activities Implemented by the ACC

The Research, Experiment, Prevention & Mass Awareness Wing of the Commission is responsible for undertaking and supervising prevention activities of the Commission. In addition, divisional and integrated district offices are actively engaged in corruption prevention programs in their respective geographical areas.

Efforts to raise awareness against corruption is going on through different programs like anti-corruption rallies, human chains, marches, meetings, seminars, workshops, drama, debate and essay competitions with the help of Corruption Prevention Committees constituted in metropolitan, districts and upazila level. Along with civil society and socio-cultural organizations, newly formed metropolitan, district and upazila Corruption Prevention Committees organize anti corruption rally where people of all walks show their solidarity against corruption.

The role of these committees is crucial in carrying out Corruption Prevention Week (26 March to 1 April of every year) and observing International Anti Corruption Day on 9 December across the country. The ACC Chairman, Commissioners and high officials participate in such corruption prevention activities. These committees receive a lump sum amount of money to organize the events and distribute anti-corruption slogans inscribed caps and T-shirts received from the ACC among the mass people. Division-wise activities of District Corruption Prevention Committees are provided in Tables 20 and 21.

Commission's Foundation Anniversary

The ACC started observing its foundation anniversary from November 21, 2012. The Commission started its journey officially on that day in 2004. Necessary measures were taken to prepare and implement central and field level programs on the occasion of the ACC's foundation anniversary. On the occasion of the foundation anniversary, programs were inaugurated by hoisting national and ACC flags with national anthem sung in the morning. And later, officers and employees of the Commission were sworn in by the Chairman of the Commission at the National Music & Dance Auditorium of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.

It was also observed at the Commission's all Divisional Offices and Integrated district Offices by hoisting national and ACC flags with national anthem sung. The officers and employees of the Commission were sworn in by the Directors of the Divisional Offices and Deputy Directors of the Integrated District Offices at their respective offices.

Public Hearing

The ACC has initiated conducting new activities like public hearing in government and semi-government offices, with a view to raising awareness about preventing corruption. The Commission believes that public hearings will be considered as one of the tools to make corruption prevention activities more dynamic and effective through empowering common people of the country. In the multi-stakeholder discussion, the sources of corruption, possible actions to be taken to curb corruption by the concerned offices, laws, curbing corruption related offences through changing procedures, etc. are addressed with heuristic explanation and discussion. In fact, the whole scenario of corruption, and steps to be taken to prevent and curb corruption become more visible by setting mutual connection through 'public hearing' in a particular office like other countries of the world. As a result, corruption prevention process gets momentum.

The Commission is conducting public hearing on the basis of ACC Act, 2004 and office memorandum issued by Cabinet Division in June 2014. The objectives of the public hearing are:

As a part of public hearing, a two-day long Information Fair was organized in Muktagacha, Mymensingh from 28 to 29 December, 2014 by TIB in collaboration with Upazilla Corruption Prevention Committee and Upazila Parishad Muktagacha. The main goals of the public hearing were to awaken people about the right to information, to inform common people about the services of several public organizations, to create a bridge between information providers and information expectants. Officers of Sub-Registrar's Office, Mymensingh Palli Bidyut Samity – 1, Upazila Land Office, Upazila Education Office, Upazila Secondary Education Office, Upazila Health Complex, Muktagacha participated in the public hearing conducted by Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO). The common people present expressed their opinions/ questions/ recommendations in written and oral forms and the chiefs of the offices concerned provided them with their expected information service and answered to their questions. The ACC Commissioner Dr. Nasiruddin Ahmed was present as Chief Guest and Executive Director of TIB Dr. Iftekharuzzaman attended as special guest at the program.

ACC, Brigadier General (Rtd.) M H Salauddin and General Manager of BFIU, Bangladesh Bank, Mr. Dev

Prasad Devnath on behalf of their respective organizations. Honorable Chairman and Commissioners of

the ACC were present in the event. On the other hand, the Governor of the Bangladesh Bank Dr Atiur

and a fax machine to the ACC. The equipment is being used in Money Laundering Prevention Section of

the Commission, particularly in National Risk Assessment activities.

2.9. Commission's Liaison with International Development OrganizationsVarious international development organizations have been involved with the Commission in supportive

manner by considering it policy. The GIZ is working on a priority basis to bring into focus the prevention

activities of the ACC. The implementation of a pilot project titled Justice Reform and Corruption Prevention,

financed by GIZ, is going on in five districts- Rangpur, Comilla, Gopalganj, Mymensingh and Madaripur. This

project will play a special role in adoption and implementation of an Action Plan for corruption prevention

activities along with formulation of Anti-Corruption Strategy of the Commission.

2.10. Empirical Research Undertaken by the Commission

2.10.1. Communication Strategy of the Commission

As an institution, the ACC has its own communication process which is, in fact, prevailing in its

main activities such as enquiries, investigations and judicial proceedings. A plan was needed to

implement all activities of the Commission efficiently as the Commission gives emphasis on

preventing corruption along with combating corruption. And with this end in view, the ACC has

started its activities in preparing communication strategies on certain agenda for the first time in

the light of experiences gathered. In 2014, the Commission prepared a draft Anti Corruption

Commission Communication Strategy for five years, from 2015 to 2019, with the financial and

technical help of the World Bank, Dhaka Office. In fact, it is an outline of activities of the

commitment made by various development partners and for implementing those in anti-

corruption campaigns.

The action plans of communication strategy were prepared from the perspectives of the ACC and its

partners such as media, common people, private sectors, civil society and others. This communication

strategy is not a nominal document, rather an implementable roadmap to prevent and identify

corruption and to make provisions of punishment for the corrupt. The ACC along with the

representatives of development organizations and other partners exchanged views in a discussion held

in a hotel in the capital in June, 2014 to make the implementation of the communication strategy

effective and realistic. Now, the activities are under process to finalize the draft on the basis of the

opinions of different partners of the Commission.

2.10.2. Preparing Strategic Plan of the Commission

Efforts are underway to prepare Anti-Corruption Strategic Plan of the ACC with the technical assistance

of the development partner, GIZ.

2.10.3. Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment

Bangladesh is a founding member of the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APGML) constituted

in the form of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for the Asia Pacific region to prevent money

laundering and terrorist financing on a global perspective. As a result, MLPA, 2002 was enacted in

Bangladesh in 2002 as the first South Asian country.

A report prepared in compliance with international standards of preventing money laundering and

terrorist financing and on the progress of its implementation and evaluated mutually by member

countries of APGML was presented in the central conference of APGML. According to recommendations

of the mutual evaluation report, National Coordination Committee (NCC) led by Finance Minister, was

formed by the Government of Bangladesh in 2010 to provide instructions and policies on anti-money

laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures. The ACC was entrusted with the main

responsibility of identifying risks for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures

and providing recommendations to combat risk. Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) of

Bangladesh Bank and Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Bangladesh Police were assigned as its

assisting bodies. In the light of the report prepared by the ACC and its two assisting bodies and the

report made by International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) after on-site-visit, Bangladesh was

recognized as Compliance Country unanimously in a FATF-meeting held in Paris in February 2014 and

Bangladesh was excluded from the Gray List. As a process of continuing the trend of following and

implementing international standards on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing

measures, the next Mutual Evaluation will be held in October 2015. Since the report on Money

Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment is the pre-requisite of Mutual Evaluation, the ACC,

BFIU and CID as assisting bodies are entrusted with the main responsibilities by the NCC. A working

committee led by Director General of the ACC Brigadier General (Retd.) M H Salahuddin, was formed to

serve the purpose.

The working committee for conducting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment

collects offence related data and information for last five years from various government offices,

autonomous organizations and regulatory authorities, law-enforcement agencies and intelligence

agencies. These databases are coordinated with the databases of international organizations, media,

research papers and websites of several organizations. Site visit, group discussion and stakeholder

consultation are held with the participation of people from different walks of life such as administration,

law-enforcement agencies, border guard, coast guard, public representatives, journalists, civil society,

and businessmen to prepare the report.

It is noted that Bangladesh will not remain under the observation of FATF if it becomes able to fulfil all

the conditions of the Mutual Evaluation to be held in October 2015, although Bangladesh has achieved

the status of United Nations Convention and FATF standard observing country in prevention of money

laundering and terrorist financing. Bangladesh will be financially benefited in international trade if it can

fulfill the conditions of Mutual Evaluation by providing a risk assessment report and implementing the

recommendations from FATF and APG. Then the LC confirmation charge for Bangladesh will be 0.25-

0.05 percent in place of 1 percent against export. It would be a great reduction in the costs and time line

of financial transactions and investments with the rest of the world. As a result, Bangladesh will be

benefited financially with the flourishing of trade and commerce side by side with this, the

opportunities for foreign investment will be widened. The draft Money Laundering and Terrorist

Financing Risk Assessment was prepared in 2014. It will be reviewed and finalized after the approval of

the Commission.

ACC put emphasis on sending officials in different training programs abroad to enhance their

competence. Besides, the officers are sent to short training courses sponsored by government

departments, non-government organisations and development partners.

3.2. Budget Management

The finance of the ACC is channeled through budgetary allocations determined by the government. The

Government allocates a certain sum in favour of the Commission for expenditure. Once the budget is

approved, the Commission does not need to obtain any permission in advance from the government in

order to spend the allocated money without prejudice to the rights of the Controller and Auditor

General to audit the accounts of the ACC. The 'Finance & Accounts' branch of the 'Administration,

Establishment and Finance Wing' supervises the functions relating to finance and internal audits; and

conduct purchase of the Commission as per public procurement regulations. Table 25 and 26 show the

allocations (Non-development and Development) in 2013-14 fiscal-year.

3.3. ACC's Initiatives to Prevent Internal Corruption

The Commission is active to control illegal practices and corruptions of its officers and staff. Under Rule

19 (1) of the Anti Corruption Commission Rules 2007, the Commission has constituted a permanent

Internal Anti Corruption Committee, headed by its Chairman, to consistently monitor, supervise,

enquire, and investigate into any corruption allegations against the ACC officials and to make

recommendations for taking legal and departmental actions against the corrupt staff. Three

officials/employees received major punishment while one received minor punishment in 2014. Table-

27 shows the number of departmental cases lodged against ACC officials/ employees and their

outcomes.

Table-27: Departmental measures taken against alleged ACC officials/employees in 2014

* Major punishment includes dismissal from service and forced retirement.

** Demotion to lower level of salary scale, withholding of salary increment for particular

years, rebuke, and determination of salary at the lowest level of time scale are treated as

minor punishment.

3.4. ACC's Performance in Monitoring and Evaluation

3.4.1. Performance Monitoring

ACC's performance is internally monitored by the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Branch. Short and

detailed inspections are two monitoring tools to notice the performance of ACC's divisional and

integrated district offices. Director Generals and Directors of ACC Headquarters carry out these

inspections. The M&E Branch evaluates regularly these inspection reports and submits the key findings

to the ACC Chairman. Table-28 provides number of inspections carried out in 2014.

During the short inspections, the Inspectors look into such issues as, availability of officers and

employees, complaints received, enquiries, cases under investigation, cases under trial, cash account,

prevention activities, major lapses/bottlenecks etc. They provide comments and recommendations

against each and every category. Progress towards the implementation of recommendations is

assessed in the subsequent detailed inspections.

In addition to the detailed examination of the above issues, special emphasis is given to office and

personnel management during detailed inspections. This includes office security, office

accommodation, maintenance of attendance book, list of activities of officers, performance

assessment of employees, various registers, and monthly reporting of performance. As part of

monitoring of Headquarters' performance, the Commission reviews the activity of each Wing once a

week. The Director General of the concerned Wing remains present on the specific date and time at the

office of the Chairman to give updates about the Wing's performance and respond to the queries of the

Commission.

5. The Action Plans of the Commission

Despite challenges that the Anti Corruption Commission is confronted with combating corruption, it has

some noteworthy success stories in the year 2014. These successes will act as a testimony to the

enormous possibility of the ACC in the years to come. However, some weaknesses of the ACC have

been identified that limited the power of the body to combat corruption effectively. The following

measures may be considered to make the Commission more effective:

1. The Corruption Prevention Committees are formed and reformed by volunteers, teachers,

religious leaders and former government officials as well as those from all walks of society who

are honest, active, having no affiliation with any political party and are free from any criminal

record. After the formation and reformation of committees, an orientation program will be

arranged at the level of Divisional Headquarters to make them aware of different forms of

corruption and to make people united against corruption through certain activities.

2. The vitality of the anti-corruption related offences lies in completing enquiries and

investigations properly and in time. Time, risk management and assets will be rearranged on

the basis of the demands and recommendations received from the officers working in the ACC

and engaged in enquiries and investigations.

3. Administrative infrastructure is needed to dispose of the cases quickly based on the allegations

from hundreds of victims from various strata of the society. Though the Commission is trying

heart and soul for speedy disposal of these allegations and the cases submitted on the basis of

the allegations within the structure approved by the government (22 Integrated District

Offices), it is quite insufficient to meet the purpose. For enquiries into and investigations of the

allegations and the cases submitted on the basis of allegations, the officers of the Commission

often visit different areas of the country. Offices of the ACC need to be set up in all 64 districts of

the country for speedy disposal of the allegations and cases piled up in the concerned offices

and undertaking corruption prevention activities.
