The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) will send notices to three ruling party MPs and their four family members seeking their wealth statements following the allegations of illegal wealth accumulation.

 

The Commission at its regular meeting on Sunday decided to serve notices to them seeking wealth statements, ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told UNB.

 

The anti-graft body will seek wealth statements from former Health Minister Dr AFM Ruhal Haque, his wife Ela Haque and son Ziaul Haque; former State Minister for Water Resources M Mahbubur Rahman and his spouse Tithi Haider; and Enamul Haque, MP (Rajshahi-4) and his wife Tahura Haque.

 

Pranab said the Commission will serve notices upon them on Monday asking to submit their wealth reports to the ACC within the stipulated date.

 

Earlier, in January 2013, the ACC launched probes into the allegations of unusual wealth accumulations by seven politicians.

 

ACC inquiry officers are conducting probes into the graft allegation against former Health Minister Dr AFM Ruhal Haque, former State Minister for Housing and Public Works Abdul Mannan Khan, former State Minister for Water Resources M Mahbubur Rahman, Enamul Haque, MP (Rajshahi-4), Abdur Rahman Bodi, MP, (Ukhia-Teknaf), Aslamul Haque, MP, (Dhaka-14) and Abdul Jabbar, former MP, (Satkhira-2).
