Topping world banl's cblack list

   David Bergman 's front page report printed in your January 11 issue is not something to be proud of as reported since 2009, we have had 22 individuals and 16 organisations  from Bangladesh back-listed by the World Bank. Eleven of them were black -listed in 2011. It is a very sad and sorry reflection of the country and the absence or ineffectiveness of the much -flouted anti-corruption activities . The prime minister should seriously take up this matter in right earnest; otherwise the Awami League should bid goodbye to governance. This increase of over 40 percent in blacklisting in 2011 (from 27 to 38) should shame the government.
    To create public awareness and to let us have more information on the matter, the World Bank should publicly list the alleged 38 persons and organisations that were involved in this shameful matter. For the government, it must be top priority to find out who they are, and to investigate the matter thoroughly . It will  be advisable for the government to issue a white paper on the whole issue in overall public interest.
