Sending the list to the Cabinet Division yesterday, the ACC asked the government to withdraw these staff.

The ACC arbitrarily attached all the 1,107 staff of the Bac when it was dissolved in November last year with the formation of the commission.

In early September, the ACC finalised the screening of Bac officials and employees and decided to retain around 50 percent of them.

Yesterday's list includes all the 14 deputy directors of the now-defunct Bac, 35 out of the total 69 anti-corruption officers, 63 of 119 inspectors, 63 of 130 assistant inspectors and 49 percent of the third and fourth class employees.

When the ACC last year incorporated all the Bac staff, the government announced that they are government's reserved staff who will not work for the ACC until completion of screening.

This conflict between the ACC and the government stalled the commission's recruitment process.

As the screening is complete, the ex-Bac staff to be discarded by the ACC have expressed discontent and grievances. They held a protest meeting yesterday at the Segunbagicha ACC office and rejected the screening.

The aggrieved staff believe that many of those who will be recruited were accused of corruption and irregularities. As per the ACC criteria, many of them do not qualify to be recruited, they claimed.

Some of these ex-Bac staff are sending unanimous letters to the ACC management bringing allegations against many of the staffs who have been selected for recruitment, sources said.
