Shehbaz summoned in corruption case on July 12

NAB also forms a questionnaire for the former Punjab CM

LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore has summoned former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif in the Lahore Waste Management Company corruption case on July 12. NAB has issued summons along with a questionnaire to the former Punjab CM based on seven questions.

In the questionnaire, the former CM Punjab has been asked as to why the summary of the formation of the Lahore Waste Management Company was approved without the advice of the finance and law department.

He has been questioned that when one department was working then why the formation of the company was deemed important. Another question is that were all the legal requirements completed for the formation of the company. Another question is that why ISTEK was awarded the contract without bidding.

On April 9, Shehbaz skipped an appearance before the bureau and asked that the date be rescheduled.

He was already facing corruption cases against him in the 56 companies’ case, Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing Society scam, Ramzan Sugar Mills case and others.

In terms of the money-laundering case, the Financial Monitoring Unit of NAB observed an unusual transaction into the family’s accounts.
