Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said no corrupt person will be spared as the government has accounted ‘zero tolerance’ against corruption.

“I believe the ACC (Anti-Corruption Commission) is here. The Prime Minister is firm on her zero-tolerance policy against corruption. The ACC is completely free,” he said while inaugurating shuttle bus service of BRTC at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport here.

Quader said the ACC is independent and it can investigate corruption without government interference. The government has not and will not interfere with this independence, he added.

He said there is corruption across the world, and Bangladesh is not out of this. “We aren’t claiming that there is no corruption here. It isn’t correct to say that only government officials are corrupt and politicians aren’t,” he added.

Quader said, “When we speak, we must consider everyone; we should first look at our own reflection in the mirror. I am speaking out against the corruption of officials, and there is corruption in my sector as well. Isn’t there? Of course, there is.”

Earlier, the minister inaugurated the shuttle bus service for tourists, expatriates and general passengers to reduce their sufferings.

Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister Muhammad Faruque Khan, Road Transport and Highways Division secretary ABM Amin Ullha Nuri, Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh Chairman Air Vice Marshal M Mafidur Rahman and Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation Chairman Md Tazul Islam, among others, were present in the programme.
