Sheikh Walid Fayez, the former Personal Secretary (PRO) to Obaidul Quader at the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges, is facing serious allegations of corruption and misuse of power during his time in office. Multiple reports suggest he was involved in illegal activities that helped him amass massive wealth.

Key Allegations:

• Commission Deals and Contractor Syndicate:
  Walid allegedly ran a powerful syndicate that took commissions for awarding major government road and bridge contracts. He worked in coordination with ministry officials and contractors to secure a cut from large project funds.
• Illegal Property and Assets:
  He reportedly purchased land, flats, shops, and houses in Dhaka and other cities under the names of family members to hide ownership. In Mohammadpur’s Bosila area, he even started a housing business, earning a huge amount of money.
• Political Lobbying and Recruitment Deals:
  He used his influence to arrange political appointments and job placements for people in return for bribes. His connections with Awami League and Chhatra League leaders allowed him to control parts of internal recruitment and promotions.
• Money Laundering Abroad:
  There are accusations that Walid laundered large sums of money overseas and owns undisclosed assets in foreign countries.

These allegations show a pattern of systemic corruption involving abuse of power for personal gain. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is currently investigating the matter, and legal action may follow depending on the findings.
