Advisory body suggests hiring fresh staff for ACC

Recommends discarding ex-Bac staff

Julfikar Au Manik
The advisory committee for screening of the Bureau of Anti-Corruption (Bac) staff has recommended recruitment of fresh manpower for the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACQ, not absorbing any from the now-defunctbureau.
The ’committee headed by M Hafizuddin Khan, former comptroller and auditor general who also served as an adviser to caretaker government, however, did not mention any reason for exempting theBacstaff.
The committee chief submitted
their recommendations to ACC Chairman Justice Sultan Hossain Khan on Tuesday but the commission is yet to study the recommendations to make a final decision about the staff recruitment.
Sources said the advisory committee suggested that the commission may ask the government for appointing necessary officials on deputation and recruit manpower on an ad hoc basis to run the com-missionfortheinterimperiod.
The committee also recommended sending back the government officials and employees working with Bac on deputation to their
respective offices.
Formed on February 17, the six-member advisory committee finalised its four-point recommendation unanimously al its meetings held on March3andApriI5.
On formation of the ACC on November 21 last year, the government dissolved Bac. Immediately after assuming office, the ACC chairman announced that all 1,107 Bac staff would automatically be absorbed into the commission.
The government later declared all the Bac staff government's reserved employees and said they

could be absorbed into the ACC only after screening as per rules. But the commission is yet to formulate the rules.
The dispute over the status of the Bac staff put the commission and the government at loggerheads. Moreover, internal conflict surfaced in the commission as the chairman on different occasions initiated moves to attach the Bac staff to theACC.
As several former Bac officials continued issuing letters and office orders using non-existent positions in the commission ignoring the government order, the government warned that such activities are punishable offence.
The three members of the commission are also divided over the size of the ACC staff. Commissioner Prof Maniruzzaman Miah suggested an organogram with 964 staff while another Commissioner Maniruddin Ahmed drafted a body of 1,449 staff.
Against this backdrop, the commission formed the six-member advisory committee in February for screening of Bac staff.
In its recommendation, the advisory committee said the commission will have to formulate an organogram, rules for appointment and service, and fix the jurisdiction of the staff before their appointment.
Organisational structure of the commission would be like that of a taskforce, it said suggesting a small staff to reduce administrative burden and costs. It said the number of lower tier offices will have to be logical.
"It will make the organisational structure and management strong," the committee recommended.
