Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives Minister Abdul Moyeen Khan has announced that the government will complete local elections on time, adhering to constitutional processes and rules.
He made the remarks in response to a question from journalists at Secretariat on his first day in office on Sunday.
Moyeen said his ministry wants to work with a commitment to serving the country’s people, giving them priority, especially the poor.
Regarding accountability, he noted that if there is any corruption under the Local Government Ministry, the Anti-Corruption Commission will investigate the matter, and the Local Government Division will take overall initiatives in this regard.
Moyeen added that BNP does not believe in the politics of vengeance but in the politics of law. He emphasised that the government genuinely wants to restore a democratic system in the country.
Moyeen remarked that over the past 17 years, the “fascist” government served the wealthy class. However, Tarique Rahman’s government has taken responsibility, standing by the poor and ensuring various benefits.
