Less than an hour before it completes its five-year term, the government has formed a commission to probe allegations by Chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Admiral (r) Fasih Bokhari that the Supreme Court is not allowing the anti-corruption body to function freely.
According to a notification issued late Saturday by the joint secretary of the Law Ministry, Sohail Qadir Siddiqui, a two-member commission comprising former Supreme Court judges Mukhtar Junejo and Nawaz Abbasi has been formed to look into the matter and submit a report in the next few weeks. The commission will start its probe from next week.
