Now we all can guess why Sheikh Hasina was protecting Abul and others.
Reaz Hassan
The rot in the government is being increasingly exposed by foreigners putting us all in great shame.
Andy
We, the citizens want to know the name of the missing individual with 2%. How come the opposition doesn't expose and bring up these issues to the front instead of calling hartal? This could be an effective weapon.

Well, we all can at least agree that there was something wrong in the Padma bridge fund allocation scheme.
Dev Saha
Are we congenitally insincere and corrupt? Whom can we trust really?
Mohammad Huq
Sheikh Hasina claimed that there was no transaction of money in the Padma bridge loan. So, how can there be any corruption or bribe? Abul Hossain was supposed to get 4 per cent because he is a patriot as announced by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in New York. This report clearly tells us how the Bangladesh government and its different institutions are working. The patriot was supposed to get the highest amount of money.

Why can't we wait till the SNC Lavalin case in the Canadian court is resolved? The case hinges on the accused official's diary containing a list of people to be bribed or are already bribed. Well, don't we need the paper trail of bank transactions of the bribed now? One is innocent until proven guilty beyond doubt. WB is not above politics. It's a well-known fact that U.S. has used WB funds to influence regional politics to gain their own end since its inception.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know whom this extra 2% was for!

This is an excellent report for the people of Bangladesh to think, decide and vote.

Nizzy Niz
Yes. Ban them ASAP before they cause more destruction. Not just Jamaat, please ban all the religion-based political parties.

If Jamaat is to be banned for violence, then AL is to be banned for corruption.

Ban Jamaat and give maximum punishment to these so-called astronauts. Bangladesh has no place for "moon" people.
