For the first time, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has established its sub-office in Gwadar to combat corruption and ensure transparency in the ongoing massive development process.
In a significant move aimed at bolstering anti-corruption efforts in Gwadar, the NAB has established a sub-office in the port city of Balochistan, a press statement issued here on Friday said. This initiative comes as a directive from Chairman NAB, Lt-Gen (retd) Nazir Ahmed, highlighting the agency’s dedication to combatting corruption effectively.
The establishment of the sub-office marks a pivotal moment for Gwadar’s accountability landscape. Recently, the director general NAB Balochistan paid a visit to the newly set up office, underlining the commitment to increase outreach and ensure a robust system of accountability in the region.
Chairman NAB stressed the importance of integrating accountability measures into Gwadar’s development framework. With the sub-office now operational, residents have a streamlined avenue to report instances of corruption, thus fostering a culture of transparency and integrity.
The significance of this development cannot be overstated, particularly in a city poised for exponential growth as a key commercial hub. Gwadar’s potential as a strategic economic center necessitates stringent measures to promote transparency, accountability, and good governance.
