I haven't engaged in even a single taka's worth of corruption since taking the oath: Amir Hamza.

Bangla Press Desk: Amir Hamza, the Member of Parliament for the Kushtia-3 (Sadar) constituency, has claimed that he has not embezzled any government funds or engaged in corruption during the six and a half months since taking his oath of office. He also challenged other MPs serving during the same period to provide similar assurances regarding their own freedom from corruption.
In a recent statement, Amir Hamza said, "Since taking my oath on February 17, I declare—with a clear conscience and full awareness—that I have not committed a single act of government-related corruption in these six and a half months. Those sitting beside me can offer the same assurance."
He stated that similar assertions would be made on behalf of the 68 Members of Parliament from Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. He further remarked that if it could be guaranteed that the remaining 212 MPs had not engaged in corruption, he would quit politics.
The MP also addressed the issues of domestic sugar production and the country's reliance on imports. He noted that the annual demand for sugar in the country is approximately 2 million metric tons; however, due to low production in state-owned sugar mills, vast quantities must be imported from abroad.
He argued that restarting the country's closed sugar mills could boost local production. This would not only reduce dependence on foreign sources but also help curb the influence of market syndicates.
Amir Hamza said, "We want to increase sugar production by utilizing our own resources. There are about 720 bighas of land lying idle under our mills. Why must we import sugar from abroad when we possess such assets?"
Criticizing the government, Amir Hamza observed that while the public is concerned about issues regarding fertilizer, seeds, fuel, and electricity, the government does not appear to be paying sufficient attention to resolving these problems. Instead, the focus seems to be on clinging to power through the politicization of institutions.
