ACC to launch TV to curb corruption

M A Rahman: With an aim to rein in corruption, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has taken an initiative to launch internet-based Television which will broadcast its programmes as Internet Protocol Television or IPTV.

The commission approved a proposal regarding the setting up of IPTV at its meeting in the first week of the current month.  

The anti-graft body has taken the initiative basically to raise awareness against corruption among people through making them more conscious about curbing corruption.

The commission will air different recorded programmes for the time being. The programmes included airing events that prevent bribe transactions, verdict in graft case, mass hearing, press conference and many other incidents.

The ACC has plans to broadcast the programmes live in future.

In the mean time, a private organisation has been asked to submit a detailed report to the commission in this regard.
