From SM Nazer Hossain, Executive Director of the Bangladeshi Blue Community ISDE and CAB Central Vice President:
CAB stages human chain in Chattogram, calls for trial of energy ‘looters’, cancellation of contracts.
Presiding over the programme, CAB Central Vice President SM Nazer Hossain said a powerful syndicate has used the indemnity law to siphon off billions of takas through capacity charges, much of which has allegedly been transferred abroad.
Dozens of consumer rights activists and energy sector campaigners formed a human chain in front of the Chattogram Press Club this morning (20 December), demanding the immediate cancellation of all contracts signed under the Quick Enhancement of Electricity and Energy Supply (Special Provisions) Act, which they described as an indemnity law that has facilitated widespread corruption in the power and energy sector.
