Authorities must check corruption by government employees
Bangladesh needs an accountable, service-oriented administrative system
Draft service rules raise concerns of further corruption in public sector
The recent decision to empower the secretary does not bode well for the Anti-Corruption Commission
We applaud the High Court for declaring illegal Section 41 (1) of the Public Service Act, 2018, a provision that required law enforcers to get prior approval from the government or relevant agencies if they wanted to detain government officials in criminal cases – a provision that should not have been formulated in the first place.
The High Court questions the legality of Section 42 of the Public Service Act-2018, according to which a civil servant will not be dismissed for criminal offences unless they are sentenced to at least one-year imprisonment.
