Good governance and economic and social development cannot be achieved without adhering to the principles of transparency and across the board accountability.
The present democratic setup accordingly pledges to take effective measures against corruption, said the Chairman NAB Admiral (Retd) Fasih Bokahari while inaugurating the two days 17th Directors General Conference that has started to review the performance of NAB during the previous year.
Highlighting the role of the organisation, the Chairman observed that NAB, being the premier anti-corruption institution of the country, remains at the forefront with regards to providing requisite support in anti-corruption activities to all national institutions including the superior judiciary, Public Accounts Committee, office of Federal Ombudsman, and other anti-corruption agencies operating all over the world. Appreciating the performance of NAB he said that it had set positive trends during the past seven months or so even though there was severe shortage of workforce. He felicitated the officials and expressed the hope that they will continue their efforts for achieving the ultimate goals of transparency and financial integrity in the public and private institutions.
