National Accountability Commission is in offing which would replace NAB, it was discussed during a parliamentary session on Tuesday. The two main parties PML-N and PPP have agreed that the commission will only have the authority to investigate federal institutions.
The bill for the commission comprises 55 clauses, of which the two parties have agreed on 53 clauses.
However, there are a few ‘grey areas’ which are still under discussion, which include the definitions of terms such as ‘corrupt practices’ and ‘public office holder’.
The party leaders also agreed that the new commission will take over cases which were being investigated by NAB.
Pertaining to the jurisdiction of the new commission, PPP claimed that judiciary and the Army should also be investigated by the commission.
