PESHAWAR, Oct 19: The newly-elected members of the NWFP Assembly will stay in hotels and rest houses till the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) vacates the MPAs hostel.
The provincial assembly’s secretariat officials told Dawn on Saturday that the government would pay each MPA-elect Rs1,600 per day as boarding allowance or arrange their stay in various hotels of the metropolis till the time the NAB vacates the hostel.
Soon after the military takeover in 1999 the NAB, in December the same year, established the Civil Lines police station in the MPA hostel to interrogate bureaucrats and politicians.
Some of the rooms of the hostels had been converted into the cells and in the remaining two blocks the bureau established its offices and provided accommodation to the staff.
The NAB officials said that it was impossible to leave the hostel, unless construction work was completed at the building in Hayatabad Township.
The NAB had obtained the block-III of the Peshawar Development Authority building from the City Development and Municipal Department (CDMD) on lease.
