The National Accountability Bureau Chairman Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal has approved a comprehensive quality grading system to review the annual performance of the apex accountability body’s officers who have been posted at its headquarters and regional offices.

Under the system, performance for the year 2017 would be evaluated, the mistakes of the officers of regional bureaus and headquarters will be identified and strict disciplinary action will be taken against incompetent and negligent officers, read a statement issued by NAB on Friday.

He added that NAB had set a period of ten months for completing the process for filing of complaints, verification, inquiry, investigation and then filing of reference and this time limit will be implemented. Necessary instructions have been issued to all the regional bureaus about the grading system.

With the consultation of regional bureaus and senior officers of NAB, a combined investigation system will be approved to ensure an effective operational mechanism. He said under the system, the benefit will be taken from the experience and collective wisdom of senior supervisory officers and this will further improve the quality of investigation and inquiries, adding nobody can affect the inquiries and investigation on a personal level.

NAB chief to listen to public complaints

The NAB chairman has decided to directly hear out complaints the public may have about corruption. This public hearing will be held on the last Thursday of every month between 2pm to 4pm at the bureau’s headquarters.

Senior officers of NAB will also attend the hearings, read a statement issued by the body.

The bureau has asked the complainants to remain punctual and bring complete applications along with their Computerised National Identity Cards and solid evidence.

In his comments, the chairman said he was committed to implementing the principle of ‘Accountability for All’ without any pressure or influence.
