ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has approved an inquiry against Pir Sibgatullah Rashidi and officers of the Board of Revenue, Korangi, for “illegally” allotting a government plot to a private person.
The decision to this effect was taken at the Executive Board Meeting (EBM) of the anti-corruption watchdog, which was held at NAB Headquarters on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Javed Iqbal.
The EBM also authorised filing of a corruption reference against former Sui Southern Gas Pipelines Company Limited (SSGCL) managing director Azeem Iqbal Siddique, former Finance Committee chairman Shahid Aziz Siddique, former finance general manager Malik Usman Hassan and others.
They have been accused of hiring the services of MS Pro Gas Private Limited without verifying their technical and financial capabilities, which is against the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) rules. That anomaly has allegedly inflicted a loss of Rs 1.174 billion to the national kitty.
An inquiry was also authorised against former Capital Development Authority (CDA) member state Brig (r) Asad Munir, former CDA director estate Khalid Mehmood Mirza, Ziaur Rehman Toor and others.
They have been involved in restoration of a plot in Islamabad by using their authority illegally, which caused million of rupee losses to national kitty.
The EBM authorised another inquiry against former Balochistan AIG Abdul Qadeer Bhatti for having assets beyond known sources of income.
Yet another investigation was authorised by the EBM against Sindh Local Government Department for illegally appointing 12,810 persons, causing losses to national kitty.
It also authorised an inquiry against the officials/officers of KP C&D Department, MS Mechatech Private Limited and others for illegally awarding a contract to MS Mechatech Private Limited. They are accused of supplying low quality air conditioners to Lady Reading Hospital, which inflicted Rs 2,435.906 million losses to the national exchequer.
Furthermore, an inquiry against the officers/officials of Khan Abdul Wali Khan University was authorised for misappropriating construction funds of the university through misuse of authority.
An inquiry was authorized against Quetta Electricity Supply Company (QESCO) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rehmatullah Baloch, MS Al Nasir Agriculture Foundary Works and others to probe electricity theft charges, which caused Rs.29.612 million loss to the national exchequer.
The EBM has decided to refer an inquiry against former Pakistan International School, Jeddah, principal Senator Sehar Kamran to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The EBM decided to refer another inquiry against former Gujranwala Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Khadim Hussain Bhatti to the Punjab Police inspector general for its logical conclusion as per the law.
