He mentioned that irregularities amounting to Rs14 billion were discovered in the universal fund of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority.
According to Rana, the identification of mega financial scams like the Rental Power Plants‚ Pakistan Steel Mills‚ Haj corruption‚ NICL and EOBI scams should be credited to the office of Auditor General.

PPP must protest for under stating its corruption capabilities by attributing such a paltry sum to its corruption
This is for AG. Who are those people's from whom whom this kind of money is taken back? Any body taken to court? How much money was taken in the form of interest and penalties ? Please make the report public. Just statements are not enough. Tell us the names of those people's who are responsible for this kind of fraud.
