At least 19 die in Nicaragua bus accidentMANAGUA, Dec 24, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - At least 10 children were among 19 fatalities Saturday when an overcrowded bus overturned on a bridge in a town north of Nicaragua's capital Managua, a government website said. Vice President Rosario Murillo, wife of President Daniel Ortega, said on state-run Channel 4 that around 70 people were crowded on the bus at the time. She said the accident occurred in Rancho Grande, apparently when the bus driver lost control on a bridge and the vehicle overturned. Authorities said the bus was speeding, the website said, and police arrested the driver as he tried to flee the scene afterward. Images in the local press showed the yellow bus impaled by the bridge's metal railing, while several apparent victims lay on the road nearby.

Tk 922bn embezzled through loan scams since 2008: CPD
More than Tk 922 billion was embezzled in 24 major loan scams involving 19 public and private banks, according to the Centre for Policy Dialogue, or CPD. The private research institute reported that the defaulted loans in the banking sector were Tk 220 billion until 2008. Speaking at a briefing at the think-tank’s office in Dhaka’s Dhanmondi on Saturday, CPD Executive Director Fahmida Khatun blamed irregularities for the scams. She emphasised the importance of strengthening the central bank, noting that despite significant losses from bad debts, the amount recovered has been "insignificant." “People entrust their money to banks, and it's our duty to ensure transparency in its use,” she said.

So Long, and thanks for All the Fish Wrap
Suffice it to say, Roy Batty, the killer replicant in Blade Runner, had it right when he said, “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.”And that’s just in my inbox. Yet, I’ve also received kind words, encouragement and attaboys that have been a psychic salve throughout my tenure, especially this year. Too many—and I’m exhausted, psychically, emotionally, spiritually and financially, as I suspect you might be too. Understandably, this might read as a downer column, but don’t let its mawkish (or mocking?) tone obscure that one thing that keeps me sane and perhaps you: the work itself.

He told Reuters in October that the complaint behind the bribery probe was a "fake complaint from a fake person" and that "anyone can send any fake complaint against anyone." "There was no fault in the factory, but since they pointed out some things, we have rectified them," he said. "We are trying our best, we are pursuing the matter with the concerned officers. One of the sources added that no decision was likely before next May's general election, given the risk of a negative public reaction.
