Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam on Monday said the wealth statements of advisers to the interim government will be made public within the next couple of days.
“As far as I know, all but one or two advisers have already submitted their wealth statements,” he told reporters, adding that the disclosures would be made public within a day or two.
The interim government is led by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus and comprises a 21-member Council of Advisers.
In addition, Special Assistants, the Special Envoy to the Chief Adviser, and the National Security Adviser hold the status of advisers.
On February 2, Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) said despite the announcement to establish the practice of disclosing the asset statements of members of the Council of Advisers and government employees, a failure to set a positive example was observed.
In a national address delivered two weeks after assuming office in August 2024, Prof Yunus pledged that his government would disclose the asset statements of all advisers at the earliest possible time.
