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
