ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry on Saturday asked all segments of society to join NAB in its efforts to eradicate corruption so as to leave a better and prosperous Pakistan for future generations.
Especially the youth, he said, needed to stand united against corruption to tackle the menace successfully. “We all have a role to play and we should refrain from fingerpointing while corruption goes unchecked. We must collectively fight to destroy this cancer that eats deeper in to moral fabric of our society,” he said while addressing a function at Gujrat Law College.
The Bureau, he said, had established more than 42,000 CharacterBuilding Societies (CBS) in educational institutions to sensitise future leaders against corruption. He said NAB and HEC had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to make concerted efforts to root out corruption from the society and create awareness about the ill-effects of corruption among the youth.
The NAB Chairman said place and importance of the youth in society could not be overemphasised. The youth were the greatest asset that a nation could have. Not only they were legitimately regarded as future leaders, they were potentially and actually the greatest investment for a country’s development, he added.
