The Transparency International, Bangladesh (TIB) has advocated that the government ensure transparency in the LR (local resources) fund management.
The LR fund is managed by the respective district administrations in the country. The TIB also called for proper implementation of the national integrity strategy at district level to ensure accountability.
The government has formulated the integrity policy with an avowed goal of establishing good governance.
The Dhaka chapter of the Berlin-based global corruption rating agency issued a statement ahead of the three-day deputy commissioner (DC) conference beginning today (Tuesday).
According to the statement, the TIB also sent a letter to the secretary of the cabinet division, drawing the government's attention to this issue. TIB executive director Dr Iftekharuzzaman said in the statement that the matter should be discussed at the DC conference properly.
The DCs will play an important role in taking steps to ensure good governance at district level.
