NAB has taken a good decision to catch those who are plundering public funds with both hands.

Frequent corruption has also been going on in the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) where BISP employees and its agents cooperate with each other in cheating BISP women beneficiaries.

The agents rush to the Benazir Debt Card (BDC) centres and BISP Tahseel offices whenever quarterly instalments are released. They deduct 50 pc of the amount from the BDC’s total payment. However, women from rural areas do not know how to use the BDC.

I appeal to NAB and the anti-corruption department to take notice of this issue.
