TIB calls for probe into former land minister Saifuzzaman’s foreign assets

Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has labelled former Land Minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury's explanation for his foreign wealth and its omission from his election affidavit as ‘unreasonable, irrelevant, and unacceptable’.

In a media statement on Sunday, the anti-graft watchdog also called on the relevant government bodies to thoroughly investigate how and how much wealth the former minister amassed abroad.

Earlier on Saturday, Saifuzzaman Chowdhury admitted to having assets abroad and detailed how he amassed those assets.
