Goodbye to AKM Mosharraf Hossain


Reading The Daily Star reporting about Mr. AKM Mosharraf Hossain, ousted state minister for energy it looks to me that he is one of the men drowned in corruption. His alleged corruption pattern; sources and mode were as such that an average citizen would have no clue about -- they voted for him. Whereas, the assets he has sucked illegally belong to them and not him anyway.

Some of the typical examples of his alleged corruption include: taking huge kickback from different oil companies, appointment of corrupt officials in different affiliates of Petrobangla against government policy, and misuse of resources by the name of foreign trip etc.

We have problems in our political arena. Mr. Hossain did not join BNP with clean hands. He already had corruption cases before joining BNP. How such a person could step into such a ladder of opportunity is a big question. Let us hope that law takes its own course and those corrupt individuals are brought to books; the sooner is better.
