The newly appointed Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), AKM Asaduzzaman, assumed office on Wednesday, marking the start of his tenure alongside commissioners Jahangir Alam Khan and Md. Sajjad Hossain Bhuiyan.
The trio arrived at the commission’s headquarters at approximately 9:00 a.m. before presiding over an introductory meeting with staff members at 10:00 a.m. Attendees included ACC Secretary Saidur Rahman and senior officials ranging from directors general to deputy directors. The commission’s public relations department confirmed the details of the transition.
The government formally appointed the new leadership on Monday through a gazette notification signed by Cabinet Secretary Nasimul Gani. The appointments were made under Section 7 (1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004.
These appointments follow a period of vacancy triggered by the resignation of the previous chairman and three commissioners on March 3. In response to the leadership vacuum, the government established a search committee, led by the Cabinet Secretary, to facilitate the selection process.
Over the course of six meetings, the search committee evaluated the credentials and backgrounds of potential candidates before finalizing the nomination of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman as Chairman, alongside Jahangir Alam Khan and Md. Sajjad Hossain Bhuiyan as commissioners.
