LAHORE – The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore has sent the third notice to PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif in the Saaf Pani Company Project scandal after he failed to appear before the anti-graft buster team twice.
The NAB has directed the former Punjab chief minister to make an appearance on July 5 in order to join the investigation.
The bureau also re-summoned former principal secretary to the prime minister Fawad Hasan Fawad on July 3 in the Rs14bn Ashiyana Housing Project scam, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Abdul Aleem Khan on July 10 and PML-Q’s Moonis Elahi on July 13 in offshore companies case.
Mr Fawad was the implementation secretary to ex-CM Shahbaz Sharif in 2013 when he allegedly pushed the Punjab Land Development Company chief executive officer to award the contract to a firm after withdrawing it from M/S Latif and Sons.
Earlier, Punjab Chief Secretary Zahid Saeed had conceded before the Supreme Court that a single drop of water couldn’t be made available to the people of the province despite the government having spent Rs4 billion on the Saaf Pani Project.
