QUETTA – The chief of Pakistan’s top anti-corruption watchdog vowed on Wednesday to continue indiscriminate accountability for all without tolerating any pressure.
National Accountabiity Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal addressing a ceremony announced that the process of accountability will be started from top to bottom.
The Bureau receives around 250 complaints on a daily basis which will be addressed over the time, Iqbal said, adding that the corruption has become “cancer”.
He clarified that the department was not involved in any politically-motivated and revenge-based action, adding that the NAB has nothing to do with the politics. He rejected all allegation levelled against the Bureau as baseless.
He hinted at launching investigations against two former chief ministers of Balochistan once the general elections are held.
“With the public support we will be able to kick out the menace of corruption from the country,” he said, adding that the officials were performing their duties with honesty.
