Fight against corruption to continue, says finance minister

The government will continue with its tough stance against corruption, finance minister AHM Mustafa Kamal told parliament on Thursday while placing the national budget for the fiscal year 2020-2021.

He said that the government has taken a zero tolerance approach against corruption and many operations against corruption have been conducted this year, which were praised by all.

He also said Anti-Corruption Commission is working to develop an administrative structure based on good governance to completely uproot corruption from the society to ensure the real socio-economic development in the country.

The ‘Anti-Corruption Commission Rules’ have been amended in June 2019 to modernise and update activities of the commission, he added.
