The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has recently implemented new reforms aimed at enhancing accountability processes and transparency.
Under these changes, anonymous, frivolous, ill-conceived, and malicious complaints will be promptly rejected without any further action.
In the initial phase of comprehensive reforms, NAB has issued rules and regulations to address public complaints more efficiently.
The goal is to improve the public perception of NAB by ensuring swift action on legitimate complaints. New procedures have been established to process complaints without delay, and individuals whose charges are not substantiated will face legal consequences.
To submit a complaint, the complainant must provide all necessary information in the application and attach an affidavit confirming the truth of the allegations. False accusations can lead to legal repercussions for the petitioner.
During the initial complaint verification process, NAB officers are prohibited from contacting the defendants. In cases involving women, the investigation will include the presence of a blood relative, and if unavailable, a female NAB officer will conduct the inquiry.
Additionally, future emphasis within NAB will be placed on tackling mega corruption and money laundering cases, reflecting a strategic shift in focus.
