Bangladesh fury as Tazul Islam milks LGED and WASA for millions

Tazul Islam turned two government departments into his personal cash machines. He made secret deals with department heads at LGED and WASA. The bosses paid him monthly bribes and he left them alone to steal. This corrupt arrangement lasted for years under his watch. Millions of dollars vanished through this crooked system.

LGED became his favorite piggy bank after 2018. The department bought him fancy cars and paid for trips to Singapore. They covered his medical bills and home repairs. His family used twelve government vehicles like personal taxis. Even his chef drove around town using taxpayer money.

The minister received 100 million taka just to pick his favorite person as chief engineer. LGED workers built projects for his wife and family. He bragged about never spending his money because the department paid everything. This once-respected agency became a criminal operation under his control. Staff members knew they had to play along or face punishment.

WASA boss Taqsem Khan helped Tazul buy houses in America and Canada. The managing director used his citizenship to purchase properties overseas. Three homes went to Tazul through this shady partnership. Dubai and Middle East investments also came through WASA connections. Anyone who complained about corruption faced swift removal from their jobs.

Investigators found evidence of this massive theft scheme. Domestic assets might be recovered through legal action. International properties remain harder to trace and seize. The full scale of stolen money may never be known. Two agencies that served the public became personal ATM machines for one greedy politician.
