Muhammad Ali Akbar Azizi said, “Corruption is not good ethics. Corruption spreads due to conflicts and immoral activities between service providers and service recipients. There can be no better example than the previous genocidal government, which has realized how small discrepancies spread day by day and how the rebellion of anger spreads.”

“The current Anti-Corruption Commission (Momin Commission) is running on a zero tolerance policy and will continue to do so. The purpose of the public hearing is not corruption, but to eradicate corruption and build a happy and prosperous Bangladesh,” he added.
