NAB Director General (DG) Training and Research (TR) informed that 18 officers of BS 18 and 19 attended eight training of trainers courses. He informed that four refresher courses for investigation officers and case officers were planned during the year out of which two had already been conducted till May 31 and were attended by 221 officers. The DG informed that two refresher courses for prosecutors were planned for 2016. One course of two-week duration had already been conducted and was attended by 47 prosecutors.
He informed that three inter-regional trainings were planned for the year, out of which a training of one-week duration had been conducted and was attended by 29 officers.
The senior official further informed that six courses for investigation officers were planned for 2016, out of which one course had been conducted. He apprised that nine in-land trainings were availed in collaboration with foreign agencies including Australian National Police, British High Commission, Asian Development Bank and UNODC during 2016 and 49 officers had attended these trainings.
The DG further informed that 17 trainings offered by academies of other law enforcement agencies and government departments were availed till May 31 and were attended by 44 officers.
He informed that besides training of NAB investigation officers, case officers, and prosecutors, the bureau availed 27 trainings for its secretaries, and managerial and administrative staff from local training institutes like Secretariat Training Institute, Islamabad and Pakistan Manpower Institute.
Chaudhry said that NAB attaches great importance to its human resource development. Accordingly, a comprehensive training plan for 2016 had been devised to ensure continued professional development of its officers. He said training cells created at all regional levels were primarily responsible to liaise and carry out the planned activities in their respective regional bureaus.
He said that TR division had prepared the training programme for 2016 based on regional feedback and input of experts from other law enforcing agencies. The plan prepared by the division was then discussed and refined at the highest level in NAB. He said that course contents had been revised and improved and investigation officers’ refresher courses had been planned for two weeks on a part-time basis instead of one week on a full-time basis to ensure 100 per cent participation. He said that during 2016 NAB had planned six capacity building courses, six staff development courses for officials and IT training and understanding of monitoring and evaluation system had been added this year.
He said that the courses had been made mandatory for promotions. This will add up in the overall performance of NAB, he said.
The chairman directed DG (TR) to implement the training plan for 2016 in letter and spirit.
Chaudhry said that training was a continuous process and was an important and serious aspect in the capacity building of NAB officers and the cutting-edge of effective job performance. He said that training was an instrument through which human capabilities were developed for enhancing practical and productive efforts. The chairman said that NAB was committed to eradicate corruption from the country and bring the guilty to book according to the law.
He said that a standardised syllabus for all courses on accounts, general financial rules, FR, SR, digital forensic question documents and finger print analysis had been formulated to ensure quality and uniformity.
The NAB chairman said that 104 investigation officers had been trained at Police College Sihala. The course contents had been designed on modern lines and a standardised syllabus for all investigation officers for their capacity building courses had been formulated to ensure quality and uniformity.
Chaudhry said that NAB had planned to have its own training academy on the pattern of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy in order to meet training requirements of all ranks on modern lines with state of the art techniques and technology. A digital forensic science lab had been established in NAB Rawalpindi, he added.
