Hiding Corruption By Mayor Tayebur
Probe body for removal of legal adviser Ruba
The four-member probe committee formed on April 21 has recommended immediate removal of advocate Nurul Hasan Ruba from the post of legal adviser of Khulna City Corporation.
Headed by KCC Chief Health Officer Dr ABM Mahabubul Huq, the committee submitted its report Monday evening to acting mayor Moniruzzaman Moni.
SM Hafizur Rahman, suspended procurement officer of KCC's municipal services project (MSP) filed a petition with the acting mayor on April 10 against Nurul Hasan Ruba.
SM Hafizur Rahman, who is complainant of the first extortion case filed against Mayor Sheikh Tayebur Rahman on November 2 last year, said in his petition that Ruba was involved in concealing important documents on alleged corruption and irregularities done by the mayor in last ten years.
The probe committee in its report said that allegations against Ruba were correct and suggested action against him.
Advocate Ruba who is the defence lawyer in extortion cases against the mayor, denied all the allegations against him. He also termed the probe committee 'biased' and its report 'baseless, designed to malign his reputation as legal practioner'.
