LAHORE: (HRNW) The opposition and officials within the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) are up in arms over the government’s third amendment to the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO).
Via the amendment, Prime Minister Imran Khan-led federal government has taken back the powers to remove the NAB chairman from the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC). It has instead authorised and empowered the president to remove the watchdog‘s chief.
Interestingly, the NAO (Third Amendment) Ordinance 2021, promulgated on October 31, has been implemented immediately. While the amendments have been deemed to take effect from October 6, when the second amendment was promulgated.
