[ALOCHONA] Army: Moeen dispels confusion on his loans

Moeen dispels confusion on his loans
United News of Bangladesh, Dhaka 22/10/07

 

The army chief, General Moeen U Ahmed, now in the USA, has cleared his position about drawing loans from bank saying that he took the loan according to bank rules and has been repaying it every month.

‘I have taken that amount of loan as permitted under bank rules and I have been repaying it every month,’ he told private TV channel ATN Bangla at JFK airport in New York on Friday.

The army chief said question of taking a loan of Tk 1 crore does not arise. ‘I have not even taken a loan of Tk 60 lakh.’

Replying to another question, General Moeen said he repays the loan from the money he gets from house rent every month. All these are documented, he added.

He said since the prime task of the present government is to free the country from corruption, anyone from army, caretaker government and government officials should not get tangled in it. ‘Everyone should remain accountable.’

About appointment of consultants, he said the council of advisers of the caretaker government was usually appointed for 90 days. But since this government is to remain in power for two years, it is difficult for 11 advisers to run the administration as each adviser is in charge of four ministries.

General Moeen said the government was examining the possibility of appointing ‘assistants’ to the adviser by maintaining the constitution.

Earlier, General Moeen had a meeting with Congressman and co-chair of Bangladesh caucus in US Congress Joseph Crowley.
