Corruption won’t be tolerated anymore: PM

Senior Correspondent: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged senior government officials for prompt actions against corruption so that the menace could not destroy government’s development endeavours.

She said, “We will not tolerate it (corruption) anymore.”

The premier said this while addressing the signing of annual performance agreements (APA) of different ministries with the cabinet division at the Shapla Hall of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) on Saturday.

PM further said, “You (senior government officials) will have to give instructions to the grassroots officials (of civil administration) to stop corruption, so the development which has been achieved due to our relentless work, isn’t hampered for corruption.”

The prime minister labeled bribe both taking and giving as crimes and requested all to stay away from the menace.
