NAB Chairman reiterates ‘accountability for all’ mantra

Author: News Desk

National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman, Justice (Retd) Javed Iqbal, on Wednesday, claimed that bringing a logical end to mega-corruption cases remained a top priority for the bureau.

He said this while addressing a cheque-distribution ceremony held for the affectees of Ferozepur City Housing Society at NAB office. The accountability watchdog was pursuing a policy of accountability for all, he maintained while taking pride in the positive results of NAB’s anti-corruption drive.

The chairman added that the bureau had performed better than other anti-corruption institutions last year.

The NAB was said to have recovered the looted money from corrupt elements; depositing Rs 303 billion to the national exchequer, since its inception.

Justice Iqbal believed that the performance of NAB Lahore, in particular, had a key role in the overall performance of the corruption bureau.

He urged that returning the plundered amounts to the affectees of all housing/cooperative societies was highly prioritised by NAB while assuring that all possible steps were being taken to recover the money.

He appreciated NAB Director General Lahore Shehzad Saleem for his performance and efforts.

Earlier, NAB DG Lahore also updated the audience on developments in various mega-corruption cases.

Later, NAB Chairman distributed cheques to the tune of Rs 730 million amongst the affectees.
