Panama leaks

Published May 1, 2016

WHY is a commission required to prove evidence and facts when the prime minister’s son has publically accepted that he owned offshore companies? These companies handle dirty money and protect the source of funds.

The people suspect that this money is the kickbacks for awarding mega projects by the prime minister, who has been voted to power for the third time. Why are NAB, FIA, FBR and intelligence agencies unable to verify Panama leaks’ disclosures?

Why do we have so many anti-corruption laws and departments if such laws are not being implemented?

I request the army chief and honest civil state servants to fight against extremism and terrorism by eliminating corruption.
