76% Conviction ratio: NAB committed to curb corruption

Introduces ‘Citizen Friendly NAB initiative’

NAB is basically a complaint oriented organisation for which it has adopted a new initiative named ‘Citizen Friendly NAB’ in order to reach out to the complainants and to cater to their complaints submitted to NAB about corrupt elements

This was disclosed by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry while chairing a monthly coordination meeting to review latest progress on the decisions taken in the previous monthly coordination meeting held at NAB headquarters.

The main purpose of “Citizen Friendly NAB” initiative will not only help the complainants to track down the latest status of their complaints submitted to NAB in an effective manner but will also enable NAB to be more transparent and responsive in terms of interaction with complainants and tracking the complaint progress by using modern technology.

NAB is committed to curbing corruption with an iron hand by adopting Zero Tolerance Policy.

NAB’s proactive National Anti-Corruption Strategy is excellent. The number of complaints, inquiries and investigations are almost double as compared to the same period of 2014 to 2017. The comparative figures for the latest three years are indicative of the hard work being put in by all ranks of NAB staff in an atmosphere of renewed energy and dynamism, where fight against corruption is being taken as a national duty.
