Dr. Moeed Pirzada in this program segment with Mirza Shehzad Akbar who was a NAB prosecutor critically discussed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s recent warning to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was prompted by complaints from business tycoons and industrialists who had complained to the PM and President Mamnoon Hussain of maltreatment at the hands of the bureau. The prime minister’s body language and tone clearly suggested that all is not well between his government and NAB. He indicated the government was considering amending the law if NAB Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry does not address his reservations. Besides, NAB has yet to clear the premier in cases of recruitment in the Federal Investigation Agency and construction of Raiwind Road. A couple of PML-N legislators from Daska and Okara, Punjab Education and Sports Minister Rana Mashhood and a close aide to Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif are also facing corruption inquiries.
