Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb, the chief advisor's special assistant on ICT, has claimed the allegation of sending a letter to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to "halt" an inquiry into a telecommunications project is false. The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) recommended a maximum of Tk 1.65 billion to meet the real demand. Citing information, it further claimed that Taiyeb directly interfered in the ACC’s activities to keep the project moving, pressuring with a letter issued on his official pad. In response, Taiyeb wrote to the ACC Chairman on Jun 22, asking to continue the disbursement process. “In that context, I wrote a letter to the ACC chairman.”In that letter, Taiyeb said he mainly outlined his arguments, citing BTCL’s need to expand its capacity.
