NAB chief vows to wipe out corruption if given support
Bukhari said that the main objective of the NAB was to identify the elements involved in the mega corruption and take action against them. He added that all available resources would be utilised for the betterment of the country.
The NAB chairman said that independence to bureaucracy and regulating mechanism would help control corruption. That strengthening bureaucracy would bring positive results in the system.

Answering another question regarding recovery in the power sector, he said, "We will follow the court decision."
The NAB chairman said that with the cooperation of federal, provincial governments and the media, they would be able to bring improvement in the system and eradicate the menace of corruption.

There are other issues with the current furore. It appears on the surface that the various authors of the corruption reports see ‘evil’ only in the political class. Their omissions are even more significant than those they name. Have they ‘declared’ the military and bureaucracy squeaky clean in focusing only on politicians? Anyone even superficially acquainted with Pakistan’s history will find it difficult to deny the role these institutions have played in siphoning off state resources, in the case of the military, involving big ticket defence purchases paid for by the sweat and labour of the citizen. About the bureaucracy and the lower judiciary, the less said the better. All the surveyors and purveyors of this pseudo-science needed to do was talk to a representative sample of the citizenry and they would have come away better educated about the phenomenon of corruption and the spread of its tentacles through the entire governance structures of the country.
He seems to be a big admirer of late Benazir Bhutto as evident from the picture behind him in the photograph published with the article.
try to understand what he said.
if his bureau, along with national institutions are accorded independence, they would eliminate corruption from the country.
Hence it is obvious at the moment his hands are shackled.
He was in deep slumber when he dreamt these words. Look at him and you will see someone who lacks vertebral strength. All paindoos look alike. Salams
He too needs 90 days.
Extend and pretend.
It is right to guide and support any person who offers to do the right thing. I therefore that all of us insist that the bill on "Right to Information" languishing in the National Assembly since 2008 be passed into law. This allows the awam the masters of the country, to oversee the work of the state servants, their paid employees. This legal oversight is a very strong detterent to corruption. Once this bill is acted into law, it will make it very difficult to conceal wrong deeds and will empower the awam to ask for information on demand and the servant, by law will have to provide it or be subjected to coercive measures. My advic Admiral Bokhari and all whoread this: agitate for the Right to Information law. In addition visit the Haryana State anit corruption website and you will see how India is putting its money where its mouth is. Finally jeering and sneering is easy and does not help. Those who do it - please desist.
not gonna happen even in hundred years...!!!
This man is not capable of doing investigations assigned to his department and for that Supreme Court admonished him as well as his subordinates many times. His performance speaks for itself. Rather than making any false claims he better improve his performance for which he is paid quite handsomely by people of Pakistan.
oh my gosh...whats gonna happen to this country? a department head need support, from who? its really pathetic, ok suppose if you got support can you change everything? no you cant, because people whom (president, primeminister) you asking support already in top positions and they don't want somebody else to take that position.
The NAB Chief is a paid employee of Malik Riaz. He, as serving Navy Chief, twice phoned Khawaja Muhammad Asif to go easy on Bahria town. He can only aid and abet in increasing institutionalized corruption.
