ISLAMABAD – The Ministry of Law has issued a notification on Saturday after the approval of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Amendment Ordinance 2019.

Earlier, the NAB Amendment Ordinance 2019 has been challenged at Karachi Registry of the Supreme Court. A citizen Mehmood Akhtar Naqvi has filed a petition at Karachi Registry of the SC challenging the NAB Amendment Ordinance, 2019, promulgated by the PTI-led government through a presidential ordinance on Friday.

The petitioner has made the federal government, the Ministry of Law secretary, the Cabinet Division secretaries, Ministry of Interior, Establishment Division, the NAB chairman, the NAB Director General Headquarters and others as party in the case.

The petitioner said, “All citizens are equal in the constitution of Pakistan, the amended ordinance is violation of the constitution and the fundamental rights of citizens.”

The application pleaded with the apex court to immediately order suspending the National Accountability (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019, while claiming that the amendment was against Article 25 of the Constitution, and an attempt to protect the corruption of ministers and government officials.

Earlier, President Dr Arif Alvi signed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Amendment Ordinance 2019 as the traders and bureaucracy has been freed from the influence of NAB.

According to the details garnered – after the approval of amendment ordinance by the federal cabinet – the president has given go ahead to the circulation summary.

It is pertinent to mention here that the NAB will no longer be allowed to take action against government employees and Bureau will not seize property of government officials without the orders of the court.

“If the NAB cannot complete an investigation against a suspect within three months, the accused will be entitled to bail. In addition, NAB will now only be able to proceed in corruption cases of Rs500 million and more.”

The anti-graft watchdog’s jurisdiction over matters relating to tax, stock exchange and IPOs has been curtailed. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and building control authorities will be the sole authorities tasked to act on all such matters.

No action will be launched against government employees in case of departmental deficiencies, as per the proposed ordinance.

Shame on IK. Zardari and NS didn't do this but you did this. You never learnt from your mistakes. Big disappointment.

 

[-blitzkrieg-]

The Business mafia successful in making IK bow down. .
The false perception they were building that country's economy has stalled worked for them..

Has anyone listened that speech in which IK announced that Ordinance?

 

[sparten]

Nobody here has actually read the ordinance, since it does none of the things claimed in the article.

That is the problem with many. They can't be arsed to read the actual ordinance and believe fake news from many media houses.

Modus operendi is quite obvious.... spread fake news unabated, then the entire population and specially khota khor patwari filth will abuse IK, then media will bring accurate picture of the ordinance and claim IK did U-turn

Yes.

It was contradictory.

In New York concert, Mr. Khan categorically said he has no friends in politics and government positions.

In Karachi concert, Mr. Khan said his friends would directly benefit from this unconstitutional ordinance worthy of impeachment.

Media did discuss it for 2 days. Everything went normal the 3rd. Nobody would discuss it here and you are hopelessly cute in your efforts to raise the issue.

Whose the aspiring Goebbels in PTI?

For a party marketed as representative of educated middle class, it seems to draw much support from strata of society where ghetto lingo is lingua franca.

Fascism has bred with messianism successfully. What we are seeing is simply

Fascism versus Capitalism in a door to door fight

It's just another PMLQ.

agreed, we build the opinion on the basis of other post .... we never reach actual ordinance ....just like Panama report...

Say whatever you like.

At a flick of a pen, Alvi just provided State protection to corruption.

Babies born during this event will grow up to take revenge from their extended kin. What goes around comes around.

Nawax and Xardari have lost the race. Corruption has a new face in Pakistan.

Only for Noony baboons..... actually the real PML-Q is PML-N, their top leadership is disqualified and on the run while 2nd tier leadership is facing cases and incarceration. Tough being a patwari in such trying times.

Can someone explain how it is incorrect to think that this NAB amendment will allow business corruption to continue? I have heard govt spokesman saying NAB is only to go after politicians and mega crimes. The rest should go through FIA, FBR, etc. On this basis its really suspicious to me and to any fair minded person NAB is solidified as an arm of the govt in power to go after the opposition. While FIA and FBR do little to go after the other big thieves like Malik Riaz etc.
