Bangladesh Minister points finger at WB over corruption


Finance minister AMA Muhith has pointed the finger at the World Bank over corruption in the road sector.

The bank has pledged $3 billion in assistance to Bangladesh over the next three years, but is "unwilling to invest" in road construction because of corruption in that particular sector, Muhith said Tuesday after a meeting with visiting WB vice president for South Asia, Isabel M Guerrero.

"I requested World Bank for greater assistance on road projects because infrastructure is important for us," the finance minister told reporters.
