The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Accounts yesterday asked two LGED officials to explain an audit objection to their signing a project worth more than Tk. 4 crore through fake tender notice.
The 2010-11 fiscal year’s audit report found that Local Government Engineering Department executive engineer of Cox’s Bazar district and the superintendent engineer concerned signed the signed fraudulently showing that legally required tender was published in newspapers.

The instruction was given at the 6th meeting of the committee presided over by its chairman Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, said a parliament secretariat press release.
