Two Ctg port senior officials suspended over graft charge
ACC found their irregularities in purchase of equipment
The Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) on Thursday temporarily suspended its two senior officials – Chief Engineer (mechanical) Aminul Islam and Deputy Chief Finance and Accounts Officer Sandipon Chowdhury – on charge of irregularities in equipment purchase.
The CPA meted out the penalty following a directive of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), Omar Faruq, secretary of the port authorities, confirmed while talking to The Business Standard.
The two officials have been served a notice in this regard, in which the CPA stated that the Anti-Corruption Commission found their involvement in the irregularities in the purchase of five auto voltage regulators, and the agency was taking steps accordingly.
The ACC last week sent a letter to the shipping ministry seeking the departmental proceedings against the two.
