The Anti-Corruption Commission is set to quiz six high officials of the state-run Petrobangla, including a managing director and a deputy managing director, in connection with its inquiry against Petrobangla Chairman Md Hossain Monsur on charge of acquiring illegal wealth.
The anti graft body yesterday served notices to Barapukuria Coal Mine Company Ltd Managing Director Md Aminuzzaman, Petrobangla Deputy Managing Director Firoz Khan, Project Director of Bibiyana Dhanua Gas Transmission Pipeline Project Mahmud Khan, Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Company Ltd General Manager (Admin) and Secretary Chowdhury Ahsan Habib, Manager (Admin) Abdullah Al Mamun, and Gas Transmission Company Ltd General Manager (HR) M Osman Faruk, asking them to appear before the commission at its Segunbagicha headquarters on March 30.
On March 9, ACC Deputy Director Ahsan Ali was assigned to investigate into alleged involvement of Petrobangla chairman in accumulating illegal wealth through recruiting employees in 13 of its associate companies violating rules.
The allegation said the chairman in connivance with some of his associates appointed a good number of employees violating the company rules.
An ACC official said the commission has received documents from the company on all recruitments, tenders and details of development work done by Petrobangla and its 13 associate companies in the last four years.
“As soon as we finish analysing the documents, we will question the respective officials, including many from its high level for a furnished inquiry,” he added.
