National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Lt Gen (Retd) Nazir Ahmed Butt on Monday said that crimes will not be overlooked because they have no expiration date and people involved in wrongdoing will be held accountable.
He said people responsible for wrongdoing would not be allowed to escape accountability by leaving the country.
NAB Chairman said the bureau had prioritized recoveries rather than simply filing large numbers of references in courts and making arrests.
The chairman also said NAB was preparing to act against irregularities in the power sector, mines and minerals, and auqaf departments. He also revealed that the bureau was preparing to take on powerful interests.
A committee had been formed to address complaints from investors who believed they were not receiving adequate protection.
The chairman further called for lowering the Rs. 500 million threshold for NAB action because the bureau’s powers should be expanded to cover more cases and help end corruption quickly.
