Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) Central Information Secretary Senator Kamil Ali Agha on Friday said that latest fraud of Rs 3.50 billion in the Forensic Science Laboratory in Punjab is like a slap on the face of present rulers of the province who are hurling accusations on others.
In a statement, he said that the present government of Punjab, despite its efforts to find any irregularities in the public welfare projects initiated by Pervez Elahi, has failed to not only accuse Elahi of corruption, but has also managed to expose details of its own corrupt dealings.
He said out of 3500 vouchers of equipment and material purchased for Punjab Forensic Science Laboratory, audit of only 252 has so far been done and irregularities amounting to Rs 3.54 billion have been pointed out whereas the real total value of looted money is more than Rs 13 billion. He said as more and more vouchers are audited, more corruption will be revealed.
The senator further said that every project of Shahbaz Sharif’s government which has so far been audited, corruption of billions of rupees has been uncovered in it. He said the latest “forensic fraud” is not an allegation leveled by the political opponents but it has been detected by the team of the Punjab Audit director general along with documented evidence.
