Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has denied the reappointment of its recently sacked deputy assistant director Sharif Uddin.
Sharif’s application for reappointment was rejected by the commission after review, the anti-graft government body said in a letter issued on Wednesday.
Sharif Uddin was fired on 16 February based on clause 54 (2) of ACC's Employees (Service) Rules 2008 reportedly for his actions in Chattogram.
The provision empowers the commission to sack any of its employees at any time without showing any particular reason. He applied for reappointment on 22 February.
According to media reports, he was targeted by some ACC officials.
The next day, a number of ACC employees, for the first time in the organisation's history, staged demonstrations protesting the termination of Sharif Uddin.
The former ACC deputy director was accused of illegally keeping some Tk94 lakh – which was recovered during a drive to the land office in Cox's Bazar – in his possession for nearly one and a half years.
