Barguna: The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) will organize its 185th public hearing tomorrow at the Barguna Zila Shilpakola Academy. The event is designed to raise public awareness, enhance service delivery in government and autonomous institutions, prevent the harassment of service recipients, and combat corruption.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, ACC Commissioner (Investigation) Miah Muhammad Ali Akbar Azizi is expected to attend the event as the chief guest, while Director General (Prevention) Md Akhter Hossain will serve as a special guest. During the public hearing, aggrieved citizens who have faced harassment or been denied services by various government offices will have the opportunity to present their complaints directly to the heads of all government departments in Barguna in front of the Commission.
The Anti-Corruption Commission will take immediate action on complaints raised during the hearing to ensure public access to government services and promote integrity, accountability, and ethical conduct among officials. To encourage active public participation, the ACC has conducted a week-long awareness campaign across Barguna.
The campaign efforts included loudspeaker announcements, poster and leaflet distribution, setting up information booths, collecting complaints, and engaging through various media platforms. The ACC has also urged members of civil society, the general public, and journalists from print and electronic media to attend the public hearing to ensure its success.
