UNB, Dhaka :Apart from many departments of the government, chairman of the Anti Corruption (ACC) Iqbal Mahmood on Sunday said people are also not getting the expected level of service from private agencies.”It is not just the ACC…people have lost faith in many public and private agencies. Public and private officials are primarily responsible for the mistrust among general people,” Mahmood told a meeting at the Commission’s conference room in the capital.

About corruption in the education sector, the ACC chief said now people are curious about what teachers are teaching at educational institutions, but the reality is that many teachers do not go to the classroom, which is also a corruption.He said, corruption is the main impediment to the realization of a prosperous Bangladesh in the spirit of the Liberation War 1971.
