Draft National Integrity Strategy finalised
A committee led by Finance Minister AMA Muhith yesterday finalised the draft National Integrity Strategy.
The minister told journalists in his office in Bangladesh Secretariat yesterday that the cabinet division would now submit the draft at the cabinet meeting for approval.
The strategy calls for mandatory publication of wealth statements of lawmakers, judges and government officials and according to it, a separate department would be set up to investigate corruption allegations.
It also spells out different measures to free the judiciary, legislature and the executive of corruption.
The draft was placed at a cabinet meeting last May and the cabinet formed the seven-member committee led by the finance minister for further scrutiny of the strategy.
