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.
