According to Transparency International of Bangladesh (TIB) report, 71.9% of service seekers in Bangladesh have to pay bribes. The state seems to be faithless to its citizens because it ranked 12th position from below in Corruption Perception Index with the judiciary, law enforcement agencies, land administration and National Board of Revenue as top scorers on this scale. The backbone of the nation has been weakened for this social cancer. Thereby, if I were the key-head figure of the country, eliminating this problem would be the main concern.
I would set a long-term vision for this anti-corruption activities named "Vision 2050: Committed to Change" with the aim of creating a culture where everyone would be responsible and accountable for his own action. There would be 5 year-wise plan in this mission by which no bribery can be ensured in 2050. These strategic plans would focus on nationwide awareness especially through youth, System Re-engineering, and Activation of Law & Policy. Anti-corruption Commission would be reformed in this venture which would be under direst supervision of me, the Prime Minister. Simultaneously autonomous role of ACC will be protected as it works on behalf of public.

This practice would simplify the process of supervision. Anti-corruption Act would be restructured so that biased action toward politicians and bureaucrats will be alleviated.
I will administer the action of ACC continuously whether it works in line with its vision. Repatriation of stolen assets would also be ACC's concern throughout its operation. Moreover, strategic plan of ACC would be flexible enough to adapt with the significant macro-economic and political changes in order that it doesn't impede other spheres of governance.

It's the parliament which runs a country and in a cabinet, in a department each folk can have different values. As we know, currently the degree of corruption is so acute due to the involvement of ministers and bureaucrats in this crime, therefore these people won't react positively. There could be rebellion inside my party even they can entente with the opposition. Most of the corrupted people are the big guns of the society consequently they can utilize their economic power to hinder this anti-corruption movement. Getting this opportunity, external power can try to intrude into our domestic affairs.
To combat this reaction, I have a social marketing plan. A tremendous campaign would be built up nationwide where every citizen would be empowered to put their effort to control corruption. Young generation who are the future
