KARACHI: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has devised a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to rationalize its workload, said Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry here on Wednesday. Chairing a meeting at NAB Karachi office, he said the agency was also in process to develop a timeline for efficient, effective and expeditious disposal of cases.
“Under the revised mechanism a maximum limit of 10 months will be placed for disposal of relevant cases,” he said.
Chaudhry said this will be from complaint verification-to-inquiry-to-investigation and finally to a reference in the Accountability Court.
NAB Chief on the occasion reiterated that NAB was committed to an across the board zero tolerance policy towards corruption. Chaudhry said NAB fully conscious of its responsibilities towards the nation has adopted a holistic approach towards the menace of corruption.
“A multi-pronged strategy comprising awareness, prevention and enforcement has been adopted,” he said. He said to create awareness against the ill effects of corruption among the youth of Pakistan, NAB in collaboration with Higher Education Commission (HEC) has managed to establish over 42,000 Character Building Societies (CBSs) in universities/colleges scattered across the country.
