A mega scandal of commission alleged grabbing of millions of rupees by different directorates of CDA every year from construction companies and contractors in the name of development and non development works has surfaced.
The commission is taken from top officers of the respective directorates to clerical staff deployed on preparing and issuing cheques.
FIA has decided to conduct a massive investigation on the basis of information received by them on this count. Particulars of all the firms and contractors registered with CDA will be called.
The commission is distributed among the CDA officials with the ratio of five percent for sub engineer, five percent assistant director, 7.5 percent deputy director, five percent accounts department, four percent finance department, three percent director, two percent director general and 0.5 percent cheque section.
Sources said that this share is collected by mafia as their due share. Sources disclosed that such files have come to light in the record of finance department wherein heavy payments have been made on the scanned signatures of member finance and heavy loss has been caused to national exchequer.
Sources said FIA has hammered out strategy to take into possession the record of this scam.
FIA sources said the arrests of Deputy Director Mian Irfan and cashier Iftikhar of CDA were made while taking bribery in the light of these investigations. They were presented in the court of senior civil judge Islamabad Abdul Ghafoor Kakar and they were handed over by the court to FIA on physical remand for two days.
Giving his stance, CDA spokesman Ramzan Sajid said CDA security department is working for eradication of commission and bribery and it takes action from time to time on this count. Several inquiries are underway in this regard.
