The Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) on Tuesday has expressed their grave concern over allegations of irregularities against the commissioners of Election Commission (EC) including the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) in training projects associated with Jatiya Sangsad and Upazila parishad elections.
TIB has demanded a free and fair probe over the allegations seeking removal of the commissioners including CEC KM Nurul Huda to recover reputations of the constitutional institution.
Media reports over receiving huge money as allowance and honorarium holding so-called designations of “Course Advisor” “Special Speaker” and “Course Director” by the commissioners of the institution were raised anxiety.
Expressing deep concern and despair Dr Iftekharuzzaman, Executive Director of TIB said in a statement, the allegations of the irregularities were unwanted and immoral acted by the officials of a constitutional wing. In the history of the independent Bangladesh, it’s unprecedented and astonishing that the whole officials of an institution involved such a forgery. They should resign immediately taking into account and the responsibilities of the allegations.
