In 2007, the Caretaker government appointed Rahman chairman of Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission.[6]

On 1 May 2009, Rahman was appointed chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission.[6] Rahman replaced Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury.[6] The government of Bangladesh also downgraded the status of the post from that of a minister to that of a judge of Bangladesh Supreme Court.[6]

In 2013, Rahman said that the Anti-Corruption Commission had become "toothless" due to its weak ability to prosecute suspects.[7][8] He had in the past blamed the judiciary for failure to reduce corruption.[9] On 23 June, he completed his 4 year term as chairman of Anti-Corruption Commission.[10]

Rahman became President of the Consumers Association of Bangladesh in August 2014 after the death of the last president, Quazi Faruque.[10]
