Disclosures and arrest will not make any difference on the economic condition of the people of Pakistan.Recovery of looted assets will definitely make the difference.

@Justicefirst, But in reality, our institutions, or our systems have such weaknesses or shortcomings due to which these people enjoy every kind of facility when in power and when not in power. They have certain similar traits due to which in assemblies , no law against them is passed and no question is raised to change the law or to make the law speedy and forceful.Unfortunately, this is the fault of the common people also who never cares to defeat them in elections but sorry to say, that people actually cast votes dishonestly and they have to suffer ultimately.

Ineffective NAB is just adding dates after dates without any plausible action on its top cases of corruption.

Ten out of ten currency exchange dealers are involved in this game. It is time to scrutinise their activities and to close all loop holes which allows them to assist money laundering/illegal transfers abroad. They should be required to properly and accurately report to SBP all cash currency purchases/home remittances. Besides, all foreign currency home remittances should be deposited in bank accounts in Pakistan so that checks can be made on the movement of these foreign currency funds. It is also necessary to keep a tab on buyers of foreign currency from these dealers.
