The White Paper Preparation Committee, chaired by Dr. Debapriya Bhattacharya, is set to investigate irregularities and corruption in the energy and power sector during the tenure of the previous government. Dr. Debapriya, a distinguished fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), mentioned that the committee might also review agreements with foreign companies if needed.
After the committee’s second meeting, Dr. Debapriya stated that the paper will cover several areas, including the macro economy, energy sector, health, education, banking, tax administration, capital flight, mega projects, poverty, inequality, and regional disparity.
Committee members have been assigned specific areas to focus on, and discussions with experts, researchers, and professors both within and outside Bangladesh will be held to gather insights. Information will be critically verified and compared with global best practices to ensure high standards. The preliminary work is expected to be completed within two months before the final white paper is prepared.
