WB changes approach to tackling corruption in BD    

After the much-publicised Padma bridge episode, the World Bank (WB) has now realigned its approach to tackling corruption in projects. Previously, the multilateral lender would wash its hands off projects as soon as allegations of corruption surfaced. But now, in essence, it will carry on with the projects but will work with local authorities to identify and snuff out the issues. “When evidence of corruption comes to light, its response should not be to disengage, but to engage differently,” it said in its Country Assistance Strategy Progress Report. wb<...

Never have the scales of justice been so blindsided as they were on Wednesday when a Greek court set free four countrymen who were accused of shooting (with real guns) 28 Bangladeshi workers who were protesting non-payment of salaries for six months. This pathetic, fiscal wreck of a little country that no one cares about and is now Europe’s basket case had the temerity to destroy all these centuries of belief that Greece was an ancient civilization and that land of Plato and Socrates and Aristotle, Archimedes and Euripedes, the nation that gave the world Sophocles and Aritides and kings like Ptolemy and Antigone has fallen to such tragedy that even the republic as Plato knew it counts f...
