Govt plans to unfreeze 1,500 bank accounts
But decides not to return Tk 1,200cr collected during anti-graft drive
Jasim Uddin Khan
The government is soon to prepare a policy to allow for restoring activities on about 1,500 bank accounts seized during the last caretaker government's anti-corruption drives. However, the realised money, amounting to Tk 1,200 crore, will not be returned to individuals and businesses, officials say.
Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith revealed the government's plan in a letter to National Board of Revenue (NBR) Chairman Nasiruddin Ahmed recently.
He also asked the NBR to make a report on the seized accounts with a complete list of individuals and organisations.
"A good number of bank accounts are unreasonably kept frozen for long,'' Muhith wrote. ''These accounts need to be unfrozen. We want to fix the problem through a policy."
The finance minister added, "We won't take any action regarding the money the caretaker government realised because a law is necessary to make returns of the money from government account. We are not ready to undertake any such measures.''
He said accounts of people with no pending income tax cases would be unfrozen first.
NBR and Bangladesh Bank had requested the government deal with the money issue, because neither of the two has any legitimate authority to handle it.
A joint task force confiscated the amount from a number of businessmen and politicians as penalties during anti-graft drives in 2007 and 2008, said a high official of the finance ministry seeking anonymity as he isn't authorised to talk over the issue.
The government would like to use the money for loan payback, the official added.

South Africa host Champions trophy
South Africa, the 2009 Champions Trophy in September and October with the unanimous approval of a place on the International Cricket Council (ICC) board meeting.South Africa was recommended as the host of the eight-team, 12-day tournament after postponing last year when it was planned in Pakistan, and concerns about the weather in Sri Lanka.
The New Wanderers Stadium (Johannesburg) and Centurion Park (Pretoria), the two locations are used.
"I think the board has a wise decision that will be the case every chance of success," ICC president David Morgan said. "We now have clarity on this issue and we can firm plans for what will be a great spectacle of ODI cricket.
"The Wanderers and Centurion, South Africa Cricket may offer two world class sites in what is effectively a city and as we know from the ICC World Twenty20 2007, again in the area around Johannesburg in September and October are stable and ideal for cricket.
"I thank the Sri Lanka Cricket for its commitment to providing an alternative to Pakistan. And I also want to acknowledge its willingness to step aside in this case. I would also like to thank the CSA for his hand and offer to host this event.
South Africa's recent history of staging events in the world, hosting the 2003 World Cup and 2007 ICC World Twenty20.
Finals from September 24 to October 5.
The Board has also decided that the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 in the West was to be held between 30 April and 16 May in St. Lucia, Guyana, Barbados and St. Kitts.

Sangakkara hails IPL experience
keeper Kumar Sangakkara expressed surprise at unorthodox spinner Ajantha Mendis not being a regular for the Kolkata Knight Riders but said the very fact that he was part of the IPL in South Africa, along with 12 other Sri Lankans, would have helped immensely.
Mendis claimed three for 20 from his four overs in his first game against Australia, which Lanka won by six wicket here late last night.
It may be coincidence, but players from countries with lesser Twenty20 match practice leading into the World Twenty20 - Pakistan, Bangladesh and Australia - have struggled in England.
''Even if some of the players did not get consistent games, the fact that they were there, rubbing shoulders with some of the greats of the game, learning from that experience (has helped them),'' Sangakkara said after his team ended Australia's campaign in the ongoing tournament here.
''They were training hard, learning to innovate and it kept them on their toes,'' he added.
Sri Lanka, as a cricket team and country, has gone through rough times in recent months. Last night's game was their first international since the team survived the terror attacks in Lahore.

Yesterday match fact and today's match fact and time schedule
Yesterday played two match 1st is Bangladesh v Ireland and the second one Australia v Srilanka. In 1st match Bangladesh played as a child of cricket. They have many experience player and youngest player but they had nothing to do anything. They think that we are tiger so don't worry we will win the match but they don't know that they are not tiger just a simple cat. Bangladeshi Selector has no experience to select a player. Some of the player are not for twenty20 world cup as like Mahmudullah, Rubel Hossain they don't know how to play cricket how to bat and bowl. Ashraful donot know how to captaincy for a team. So if Selector can change couple of player then Bangladesh will do better for cricket. In the second match Srilanka beat Australia. In that match Srilanka really played very well in bowling and bating both side. Australia had nothing to do anything. But this is not finish for two teams we think that both teams will play good for cricket in the next tournament. In Ashes Australia will play better and hope they will find them self. Best for luck Australia and Bangladesh for their future.
Today's match time schedule:
Netherlands v Pakistan(13:30 local, 12:30 GMT)Live Match
New Zealand v South Africa (17:30 local, 16:30 GMT)Live Match
Today's will played two match the 1st is Netherlands v Pakistan and the second one New Zealand v South Africa. The 1st match is very important for both team. Pakistan want to win by hook and cook. They don't want mistake like Bangladesh. But Netherlands played very well in their 1st match against England. They cheesed the run and also win. Today also they want to be cheesed because they have power to chess and win. If Pakistan win the toss i think that they have to go for fielding 1st this is my opinion but it depends on Pakistan Captain but if Netherlands win the toss that I think that they definitely choose to bowling 1st. In 1st match in fielding side Pakistan not so well they missed couple of bowl. So this a big meter to improve their fielding in this match. Because after 160 every 10 run is a big factor for wining a game.
The second match New Zealand v South Africa. Already decided two teams go to the super eight. Two teams are very strong in batting and bowling line up. So let's see which team will champion for group Group D.
So enjoy today's cricket available on Cricinfo and my blogsite for live cricket.

Bangladeshi Tiger became Bangladeshi Cat
Ireland beat Bangladesh in the 2007 World Cup and, pitted against the same side in a must-win clash in more familiar conditions, produced an encore to surge into the second stage of the World Twenty20. This will go down as one of the biggest moments in Ireland's cricket history - but another disappointment for Bangladesh, who were knocked out of the competition. The hungrier side was always going to come up tops and Ireland took a massive stride by keeping a reckless Bangladesh to 137. Bangladesh batted with the freedom of a team that believed they were already in the next stage and paid the price, stumbling after a shaky start. Mashrafe Mortaza's late heroics ensured at least a fighting total, which is where some self-discipline could have changed the outcome of this game. Ireland applied themselves to their chase and got home by six wickets - the O'Brien brothers again proving their worth - to yells and whoops from their dugout.
Twenty20 isn't a format where you can check in and book yourself for bed and breakfast but there still is a need for stability. Instead Bangladesh started like a runaway train, scoring 30 of their first 39 runs in boundaries, despite losing a wicket early. Three boundaries in five balls are plenty, but Junaid Siddique took a silly dance down the track and started the rot.
Mohammad Ashraful briefly threatened to make Ireland pay for a drop at first slip, pulling - a la Gordon Greenidge - over deep square leg and hitting Boyd Rankin over mid-on for sixes in one over, but then again steered to slip where Kevin O'Brien atoned for his earlier lapse. Predictably, William Porterfield turned to spin as the fielding restrictions were lifted and immediately Bangladesh tried to dominate, unsuccessfully. Johnston picked up the third as Shakib Al Hasan picked out long-on, before tidy spin from both ends and a sudden spring in Ireland's step further confounded Bangladesh.
Tamim Iqbal paid the price for misjudging a single, caught inches short - and with his foot in the air after he dropped his bat - by a smart pick-and-throw from Niall O'Brien. Niall was in action minutes later, brilliantly stumping Mahmudullah, his foot an inch off the ground as he heaved, when standing up to Alex Cusack's medium-pace. Consolidation was the need of the hour but instead of taking a couple overs to consolidate, Mahmudullah swung recklessly across the line. The buzz around Ireland was stirring, the fielding now top-notch, and you could sense an upset.
This was a time for Bangladesh to take a step back. Instead they kept swinging, clearly fraught at not having managed a boundary for 71 deliveries - a result of excellent work from Johnston and Ireland's spinner. West and Kyle McCallan plugged way splendidly, tidy with their lines, and accounted for Mushfiqur Rahim and Raqibul Hasan. Ireland had crawled all over Bangladesh, strangling runs and keeping the batsmen guessing as to where the next run would come from. McCallan returned exemplary figures of 4-0-17-1, but there was a bit of gas in Bangladesh's tank still. Mortaza's lusty hitting earned him two sixes in the final over, a handy cameo.
Mortaza then struck with the ball to dismiss Jeremy Bray in the third over Ireland's openers started watchfully, aware that a daredevil approach could harm them. Then Niall stuck it to Mortaza, flicking three sixes with immense power in the sixth over, and taking a pair of boundaries in Mahmudullah's first over. Niall played off the back-foot with power, but a late cut off Naeem Islam's first ball showed he could perforate the gaps with grace too. Irish supporters in the crowd cheered raucously, aware that what their team was doing was stunning.
However, Porterfield's sluggish approach forced Niall to improvise and he fell for 40 from 25 balls. Ireland were on track with the asking rate when Porterfield chipped a return catch to Adbur Razzak, and a similarly soft dismissal from Gary Wilson, driving the first ball of Mortaza's second spell to extra cover, sent Bangladesh into raptures.
Ireland still needed 49 from 34 but Kevin shut the door with some clutch hits, flicking a full toss from Mortaza to fine leg, dumping Razzak over midwicket and creaming Rubel Hossain over and past extra cover twice. John Mooney wasn't to be left behind, reverse-sweeping a four to ease the pressure, but it was Kevin who had the final word, clubbing another effortless six and sealing victory with a four off extra cover.
"I will be very disappointed if we don't make our mark in this competition," said Ireland coach Phil Simmons on the eve of this match. In their first game against a professional side in this format, Ireland did make their mark. And how.
