THIS refers to your report (June 29) wherein the auditor general of Pakistan (AGP) has unearthed Rs270 billion irregularities and embezzlement in federal ministries in the expenditure for the fiscal year 2018-2019 (the first year of the PTI government).

Accordingly, he has recommended strict action, including references, to investigation agencies against those responsible.

My only interest will be to see as to when Imran Khan will hold his federal ministers/ secretaries accountable for the wrongs they have committed in their departments, to claim that he has really brought ‘tabdeeli’ (change) in his system of governance.

He in this past statements had been promising transparency in the departments by eliminating all the black sheep when he would come to power.
