The government has decided to appoint Additional Attorney General KK Agha the prosecutor general in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and a summary in this regard has also been approved. With this appointment, Agha, whose full name is Mohammed Karim Khan Agha, would have another three-year term as the NAB prosecutor general. KK Agha is a Karachi-based lawyer who has been defending corruption cases against former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and her spouse Asif Zardari during the 1990s. He was also part of the government’s team in the NRO case along with the federation’s former lawyer, Kamal Azfar. His new assignment reflects that the PPP Co-chairman President Asif Ali Zardari is making sure that his loyalists were appointed against key posts in case his party’s government faces any jeopardy. A well-placed source confided to Pakistan Today that President Asif Ali Zardari had also consulted the NAB Chairman Admiral (r) Fasih Bokhari and a formal announcement was likely to be made to appoint Agha as the NAB PG once the notification was made. The source said the appointment was crucial, as the PPP-led government was left with a one-year term, while Agha would still serve another two years and his role would be crucial in case the PPP loses next elections.
