The EBM decided to conduct the ongoing inquiries and investigations independently, transparently on merit on the basis of concrete evidence after getting point of view of the accused, so that all requirements of justice could be fulfilled and no inquiry and investigation will be completed unheard.
It is year-long policy of NAB to share the details of EBM with the public which does not aim to hurt the feelings of anyone as all inquiries and investigations are initiated on the basis of allegations, which are not final. NAB decides to go ahead with case after assessing the merits of the cases and after knowing point of view of accused persons as per law.
Meanwhile, Chairman NAB said that the Bureau is absolutely committed to eradicate corruption by putting in serious efforts in order to make corruption free Pakistan. He said all resources are being utilised to take mega corruption cases to logical conclusion on priority. NAB has directly or indirectly deposited record Rs466 billion in the national exchequer following the policy of accountability for all.
