The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has started an investigation against Saima Wazed Putul, daughter of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, on allegations of various irregularities and corruption in getting the post of Regional Director for South-East Asia of the World Health Organization. A team has already been formed to investigate.

ACC Director General Akhter Hossain confirmed this information at a press conference at the organization's head office on Wednesday (January 15).

He said Saima Wazed Putul was appointed as the Regional Director of the World Health Organization through various corruptions. It is alleged that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina used her power unethically to make her daughter Saima Wazed Putul the Regional Director of the WHO despite her lack of qualifications to be the Regional Director for South-East Asia.

After verifying the initial information of the allegation, the commission decided to investigate. At the same time, Akhter Hossain said that it has started an investigation against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Defense Adviser Tariq Siddiqui and his family members on charges of money laundering.

Discussions with political parties on the report given by the commission will begin next month, Environment, Forest and Climate Change Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan said.

She gave this information at a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Wednesday (January 15).

Regarding the publication of the reports of the reform commissions, she said that the gist of the reports of the commissions will be published today.

The Environment Adviser said that the heads of the reform commissions have asked for a month to decide on priorities. Accordingly, formal discussions for consensus may begin from the middle of next month.

The interim government wants to implement only those reforms on which there is consensus with the political parties, said Law Adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul.

He gave this information at a news briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Wednesday (January 15).

He said that it will take time until June next year to implement the expected reforms. The law will be formulated and implemented on the basis of consensus after discussions with the political parties.

The law adviser also said that the trial of the July genocide will begin in the trial court before the next election.

The reform report will be the charter of the new Bangladesh, and elections will be held on its basis, said Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus.

The members of the commission handed over these reports to the chief adviser's office in Tejgaon on Wednesday (January 15) morning. He then said all this in the meeting.

The chief adviser said, this is not just a formality, this is a historic moment. Many committees are formed, reports are published and formalities are done. But today's formalities are much higher than them. Today's event will be a part of history because these commissions were created from the flow of history.

He also said, we had given you the task of creating a structure for a new Bangladesh through the commission with the dream. The dream is still there, the outlines of that dream must be highlighted. This is not the end; it is the beginning of a chapter. The dream and its journey after the coup have begun. A large part of it will be reflected through this report, what we want to do. Through this, we will start a discussion with everyone. You have prepared the material for the discussion to see whether everyone is in agreement with this and whether the promises are being fulfilled.
