The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman has taken notice of massive corruption reported by media in different state institutions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), it has been reliably learnt.
During the past four years, the KP government has been declared the most corrupt regime across the country and various non-governmental organisations have questioned the integrity of the chief minister and his team.
Transparency International Pakistan (TIP) had said in its report that the KP government was the most corrupt of all four provincial governments. It said overall corruption had increased by around Rs 28 billion in a year and more than 70 percent of citizens said the ANP-led government was more corrupt than the previous one.
A source in NAB informed Pakistan Today that in order to ascertain the authenticity of media reports, NAB chief Admiral (r) Fasih Bokhari would be visiting Peshawar today (Thursday).
“Upon his arrival at Peshawar, the NAB chief would be given detailed briefings on the initial investigation and data gathered by various organs of the provincial officials of NAB,” the source said.
The source added that other than new investigations, Bokhari would also be briefed on review of corruption cases pending with the NAB KP, while progress on different pending and ongoing cases would also be reviewed.
