Former PCB official urges probe
LAHORE, Oct 10: Former marketing chief of Pakistan Cricket Board, Zahid Bashir, has demanded the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) initiate an inquiry into the contract awarded to a private company to install floodlights at Multan and Faisalabad stadiums.
Zahid has alleged that the amount of the project was Rs146m which was high as compared to Rs58m spent on the installation of floodlights at Karachi and Rawalpindi in 2000.
Sacked by the current ad hoc body of the PCB, Zahid accused that non-technocrats in the PCB had caused colossal financial loss and demanded of the NAB to investigate into board’s financial affairs.
Zahid claimed that he had managed the sponsorship for Rs58m. He also rejected the logic that the prices might have been increased in the international market.
