Wherever electricity and fuel are involved, there is corruption: Energy Advisor

Power and Energy Adviser Fawzul Kabir Khan said that government officials should get out of the culture of giving oil. Corruption is everywhere in the power and energy sector. The companies that are under Petrobangla, their secretaries and chairman will be changed soon.

He made this comment in an exchange meeting with representatives of organizations and departments under the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources at Petrobangla on Wednesday (August 28).

Referring to the deep corruption in Petrobangla, he further said, 'No matter how efficient a corrupt secretary or high-ranking person is, action will be taken against them if there is evidence. Students will be given opportunities if needed.'

At this time, he also wants an account of the assets of the heads of the organization. He said, 'I will ask for an account of the assets of the heads of the organization, we will also give an account of our assets.'

Customer service like cheap gas supply, uninterrupted power supply will be considered how successful or improving this sector is. We will not take the project after seeing a familiar face. In this case, there will be a system of open competition, said the electricity and energy adviser.

Regarding institutional reform, Fawzul Kabir Khan said, institutional reform will be done with emphasis on how much service is guaranteed to the common people, not more power plants and buying fuel at high prices.
