While speaking at Civil Services Academy in Lahore, Chaudhry said bureaucrats perform multiple functions, ranging from paperwork to recommending policy decisions to the governments. However, he added, the same system could eat up the country from within if the people concerned indulge in malpractice.
About the initiatives taken by NAB, he said that since October 2013 the incumbent management has taken initiatives aimed at improving efficiency and effectiveness of the organisation. The good work continued in 2014 an din 2015, he added, they introduced the Monitoring and Evaluation System.
Since NAB is the focal agency for United Nations Convention Against Corruption, it is an active member of international community.
“NAB alone cannot fight the war against corruption. It is a collective social responsibility. The intelligentsia and media have to play an important role,” the press release quoted him as saying.
