NAB receives Arbab

Published April 5, 2005
ISLAMABAD, April 4: The National Accountability Bureau has received a written complaint of corruption from Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim against Imtiaz Sheikh. A spokesman for the NAB told reporters here on Monday that the complaint would be processed after the Prime Minister?s Inspection Commission had completed its inquiry. ?Once the commission has done its inquiry, the NAB will come into play,? said the spokesman.

He also gave the salient features of the NAB?s Annual Report 2004, which was presented to President General Pervez Musharraf on March 29, 2005.

Asked if the NAB would investigate the recent crash of the Karachi Stock Exchange, the spokesman said if the Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan referred it, the NAB would took up the issue.

However, he said the NAB could not take up each and every case of corruption as it was the responsibility of the regulatory agency concerned with a particular department to do its own checks and accountability of the persons involved in corruption.?APP
