The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is preparing to send a letter to the World Health Organization (WHO) requesting the removal of Saima Wazed Putul, the daughter of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, from her position as regional director of the WHO Southeast Asia Region.

The ACC officials confirmed that the letter will be dispatched on Monday through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

The letter claimed that Putul’s credentials were fabricated and purely formal.

The letter further accused Hasina of using state resources to benefit her daughter, citing instances such as state-funded trips, including to the 2023 G-20 summit in India and the 76th WHO conference in Delhi.

These actions allegedly led to significant financial losses for the Bangladesh government and harmed the nation’s international reputation.
