DHAKA, March 2, 2021 (BSS) – President M Abdul Hamid today asked the authorities concerned to ensure transparency in spending government funds for the sake of public interest as a delegation of Comptroller and Auditor General of Bangladesh (CAG) submitted Annual Audit Report 2017-18 to him at Bangabhaban here this evening.
“Audit is a very important to ensure transparency in government expenditure . . . The government’s expenditure is gradually increasing at present,” he told the delegation led by Comptroller and Auditor General of Bangladesh (CAG) Mohammad Muslim Chowdhury.
The head of the state directed the CAG to intensify the audit activities to resolve the unresolved audit objections, President’s Press Secretary Mohammad Joynal Abedin told BSS.

Cyprus scrapped the programme in November last year after the Al Jazeera news network filmed a senior state official allegedly offering to facilitate a passport for a bogus investor with a criminal record. The official involved denied wrongdoing, but the government said the scheme was flawed and open to abuse.
Before that, authorities had defended the initiative, which was popular with Russians, Ukrainians, Chinese and Cambodians. Critics, which included opposition politicians and transparency campaigners, panned the scheme as opaque and fraught with criminal risk of money-laundering.
