Government Watch

The Anti-Corruption Commission is currently paralyzed due to a four-month leadership vacancy, halting new investigations and case filings.
Government formed a five-member search committee to recommend candidates for ACC chairman and commissioner posts.
Proposed 2026-27 fiscal budget includes funding to expand Anti-Corruption Prevention Committees to the union level.
PM's Information and Broadcasting Adviser stated the ACC must investigate corruption allegations impartially.
Six new witnesses testified in the ongoing graft case against former IGP Benazir Ahmed.
ACC requested documents from the Bangladesh Cricket Board regarding allegations against former president Nazmul Hassan Papon.
Dhaka court scheduled July 21 for charge framing in a 2024 graft case against former NBR official Matiur Rahman.
Established 9 May 2004 under the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004 (replacing the former Bureau of Anti-Corruption). The ACC is a fully independent constitutional-grade statutory body with its own budget line and prosecutorial authority; it is not subordinate to any ministry. The acronym in Bangla is দুদক (Dudok), from দুর্নীতি দমন কমিশন. Staff count of 978 is sourced from Banglapedia/ACC official data; 248 officers (deputy director to sub-assistant director rank) handle investigations and inquiries. FY2025-26 budget of Tk 191 crore (Tk 1,910,000,000) is from the Finance Adviser's budget speech, confirmed by BSS. The current_head field is null because no chairman has been appointed since the 3 March 2026 mass resignation; the Cabinet Division had not formed the search committee as of late April 2026. The Jalal Uddin travel ban (23 December 2025) involved Tk 249 crore in combined assets, not a standalone embezzlement figure -- this is the stated value of assets under inquiry for money laundering. The Kaliakair tender scam investigation (November 2025) is at inquiry stage; no formal case has been filed as of the verification date. The 2025 ACC Amendment Ordinance remains deferred -- it was not among the 91 ordinances converted to law in April 2026, and parliament's special committee recommended further review before reintroduction as a new bill.
