President M Abdul Hamid asked the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to ensure proper punishment of the corrupt individuals and not to harass any innocent people anyway.
The President gave the directive when a four-member ACC delegation, led by its Chairman Iqbal Mahmood, submitted its Annual Report-2018 to him on Monday at Bangabhaban here.
He directed the country’s anti-graft watchdog to conduct drive against corruption in education, health and other service sectors, President’s Press Secretary Mohammad Joynal Abedin told BSS.
President Hamid categorically said that corrupt individuals, whoever he or she may be, must be punished.
Stressing the need for fair investigation into corruption cases, he asked the ACC authority to take effective measures for enhancing the capacity of the investigation officers (IOs).
