New Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Mohammad Abdul Momen on Wednesday that the commission will start an investigation into the allegations against ‘big fish’ immediately, as it is the expectation of people.
“Work as per public expectations is top priority. We will take action immediately about those cases of corruption which affected the country significantly and take action against culprits who were behind these graft and irregularities,” he said while talking to reporters on the premises of the head office of the Commission after taking charge.
“ACC is a part of the society. It is not impossible to be corrupt in a corrupt society in some cases. It is your duty (journalists) to investigate disinterestedly if you find any complaints against me and my commission,” he said.
He also sought cooperation from the media to reach out the right information to people.
Momen, a former senior secretary to the government was serving on a contractual basis in the Ministry of Home Affairs, resigned from his position earlier.
