This reform proposal is included in the July Charter. It it is proposed that the Anti-Corruption Commission can obtain constitutional status through the creation of a "Selection and Review Committee". 23 negotiating political parties and alliances have agreed to this proposal. Seven political parties and alliances have submitted notes of dissent, which include 12-Party Alliance, Amjanatar Dal, Jatiyatabadi Ganatantrik Andolan (NDM), Jatiyatabadi Samomona Jote (Nationalist Like-minded Alliance), Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Bangladesh Labour Party, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
Observation
-
The provision for the formation of a "Selection and Review Committee" has been excluded from ACC Ordnance 2025. It is highly unlikely that this reform proposal will be implemented unless the political party to be in position following the forthcoming parliamentary elections makes a commitment to this end.
