The law is not law if needed to seek a remedy. Private university with public money!

A PRIVATE university in Bandarban spent Tk 1.35 crore of the government’s fund to construct its water supply channel. At a time when villagers were leaving their ancestral neighbourhoods due to water crisis, Bandarban Hill District Council (BHDC) gave the amount to a private university named Bandarban University to establish its own water supply channel.
The university is founded by Bir Bahadur U Shwe Sing, Minister for the Ministry of Chattogram Hill Tracts Affairs, and his brother-in-law Kwe Shwe Hla, who is also the chairman of BHDC, according to the university’s website. Although the university claimed to be the country’s first public-private partnership university on its website, the website of University Grants Commission (UGC) listed it as a private university. Dr Fakrul Islam, Director of Private University Division at UGC stated that Bandarban University is a private university which has been registered under the Private University Act, 2010.
The use or misuse of public funds by various members of this administration is not unknown or unprecedented. Rather people have become accustomed to the sheer scale of such activities. From beating up naval officers and killing ex-army officers and setting up torture cells it seems that nothing is beyond bounds for a certain section of the current administration.
However, the facts remain that a sitting Minister and his brother have collaborated together to effectively use public funds for their own private benefit. While this is different from the recent news of an MP who has been accused of extortion and grabbing the lands of a certain public university it is still interesting that sitting Ministers think that they can blatantly use public funds for their ends and still get away with it.
So instead of a public private collaboration we have a brother-brother collaboration which may be unprecedented even for this administration. The correct option would be for the administration to extract the money from the university but this will probably never happen. If the ACC were not afraid of targeting big shots this would have made a fine example of their powers but sadly it remains a toothless tiger.
