Author: NNI

ISLAMABAD: The government decided on Monday to amend the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1956 for probing into Panama Papers leaks, which revealed offshore holdings of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s family.

According to the sources, the government has finalised a new bill which is likely to be tabled in the National Assembly this month. The proposed inquiry commission to investigate Panama Papers would have more powers under the amended act, they said.

The inquiry commission would be also empowered to take action and have the case registered, they added.
