The allegations against the former president and secretary of Nabiganj Upazila Edabarak Canal Water Management Cooperative Society Ltd of misappropriation of Tk 37 lakh 33 thousand 764 from the savings and canal digging project of the members of the society have been found to be true. Several members of the association filed a complaint with the Deputy Commissioner on August 14 last year, alleging irregularities in the management of the association. Nabiganj Upazila Cooperative Officer investigated the complaint. After a long investigation, he submitted his report on February 19. Even the former president of the association threatened the investigating officer to take the investigation report in his favor.

According to the report, the former president and secretary of the association embezzled the LC money without distributing it among the workers. Apart from this, the former president Kazi SM Shahed Miah kept the members’ shares and savings for himself and managed the association in a fraudulent manner.

Apart from this, even though there are 12 members of the management committee, the former president held the meeting of the management committee with the signature of his own people without notice. He did not call the members to any meeting or inform them of the proceedings of the meeting. 78 thousand 289 taka stored by the association was kept by the president. Which amounts to irregularities and is contrary to the law of association.

According to the investigation report, out of the 31 LCS allocated for re-excavation of Edabarak canal in Edabarak sub-project under Minor Water Resources Development Project-2 (JICA-2), the president and secretary of LCS No. 13, 14, 15 and 16 have implemented a total of 37 works. Lakh 33 thousand 764 rupees were paid to the workers and he signed the check and submitted it to the president of the management committee of the association. They do not know whether the president withdrew the said money and distributed it among the workers. Appropriate and legal action has been taken in this regard in the investigation report.
