Waqas Akram in, Marwat out for PAC top slot

Keeping up with his reputation, PTI founding chairman and deposed premier Imran Khan has taken yet another U-turn by finalising the name of Sheikh Waqas Akram as the party’s new nominee for the slot of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of parliament, replacing his previous candidate, Sher Afzal Khan Marwat.

The PTI’s political committee will forward Akram’s name to the National Assembly speaker in a day or two, according to the party’s insiders.

The insiders added that the committee also considered the name of party leader Ali Muhammad Khan but finally decided to proceed with Akram.

They said Imran had also given the nod to Akram’s nomination.

Earlier, the PTI’s founding chairman had finalised Marwat’s name for the slot.
