The former state minister said that in the name of this capacity charge, Awami League ministers, MPs and businessmen close to them have taken away about Tk 1 trillion in 15 years.
Iqbal Hasan Mahmud alleged that no contract in the power sector was made in accordance with the public procurement rules.
“We must see the contract. How they made the contracts, it should be public… The job of the interim government is to make every contract open,” he added.
He said Summit Group took over Tk 106.3 billion, Agro International took Tk 79.3 billion, Ultra Power Holdings took Tk 75.23 billion, United Group took Tk 65.75 billion and RPCL took Tk 51.17 billion as capacity charge.
Iqbal Hasan Mahmud said the country’s power sector will crumble down any time as the development in this sector during the Awami League government was not sustainable.
