The Council of Advisers on Thursday approved drafts of four ordinances in principle at its weekly meeting chaired by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus.


The ordinances that received final approval are the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Ordinance (Amendment) 2025, the Prevention and Suppression of Human Trafficking and Smuggling of Migrants Ordinance 2025, the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) Ordinance 2025, and the National Human Rights Commission Ordinance 2025.

Later, Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam briefed reporters at the Foreign Service Academy about the outcomes of the meeting.

Senior Assistant Press Secretary Foyez Ahammad was also present at the briefing.

Press Secretary Alam said the amendments aim to strengthen the institutions and enable them to operate independently in the truest sense, reports UNB. 

“We believe we will reach a stage where we can say we are a corruption-free society,” he said, adding that the ACC will be further strengthened.
