The resignation of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Deputy Chairman Javed Zia Qazi was accepted on Monday by the bureau, The Express Tribune has learnt.
Qazi had tendered his resignation from the post to NAB Chairman Admiral (retd) Fasih Bokhari on July 3, 2012.

NAB spokesperson, Additional Director Zafar Iqbal told The Express Tribune that the outgoing deputy chairman’s resignation has been accepted by President Zardari.
Qazi was appointed for a term of three years which was to end in May 2013, but he resigned before his tenure was to end. Iqbal added that Qazi submitted his resignation for personal reasons. His replacement will be appointed shortly.
The NAB chief will conduct an interview of officers of grade BPS-21 for the vacant position and among those interviewed, the name of one officer will be referred to President Zardari for approval, sources further stated.

Formations of commisions or committees for such petty things can not be advisable as he was contract employ and such employees can be removed any time by one months notice or they can leave the job on one month notice.
One can not be forced for service when he is working on contract basis. Such posts should not be filled up on contract basis but some permeenet official whether from NA or from outside i.e DMG or OMG officer may be made Deputy Chairman. Even NA chairman on contract can be accepted.
There are rarely any personal reasons for such resignations. Anyway, I recommend the Govt to appoint some honest person and do not simply put somebody there who had been promoted from 19 to 21 in last 4 years OR on the basis of some relationship.
How about a commission to probe his resignation, even "Personal" reasons?
NAB should look at someone from FBR who has experience of looking at Financial statements and asset records
