The National Review Committee on the ministry of power, energy, and mineral resources on Sunday asked the interim government to hire a reputed legal and investigative firm to assist its review of major power generation contracts signed during Sheikh Hasina's autocratic rule between 2009 and 2024. In a resolution, the committee, led by Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury, said it needs more time to do further analyses of other solicited and unsolicited contracts. The committee is collecting evidence that may lead to potential renegotiation or cancellation of contracts in line with the international arbitration laws and proceedings, according to the Chief Adviser's press wing. "To facilitate this, we recommend the immediate engagement of one or more top-quality international legal and investigative firms to assist our committee," the resolution says.
