ISLAMABAD:
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has faulted the previous government led by the Pakistan Peoples Party for delaying investigations into 150 major scams, according to sources.
In its reply to the Supreme Court about its ‘performance’, the anti-graft watchdog said the PPP-led government was responsible for that.
Earlier, it had submitted a list of 150 major scams in addition to 29 more cases to the apex court. Among these were cases pending against incumbent Premier Nawaz Sharif, ex-PMs Yousaf Raza Gilani, Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
The court said it was not happy with the painfully slow progress in the investigation of such high-profile cases.
