A global phenomenon for a desire of a corruption free society is gaining more impetus with each passing day and our society has gained more awareness with regard to rampant corruption.

The Bureau is at the frontline in the drive for a corruption free society through adoption of a holistic approach of Awareness, Prevention and Enforcement. National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has recovered around Rs. 295.6 billion since its inception and its efforts have helped Pakistan in moving up the ladder in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index (CPI) from 126th to 117th position, out of 180 countries in the world during the last three years.

From the day one after taking charge of the Bureau, I have sent a definite and clear message to the entire workforce of NAB, irrespective of their ranks, that corruption could not be eliminated until NAB’s officials adopt zero tolerance policy adhering to transparency, merit and honesty. The principle of ‘Accountability for all’ should be strictly implemented and all inquiries and investigations should be conducted within given time frame instead of lingering on for indefinite period. All cases filed by NAB to the Accountability Courts, High Courts and the Supreme Court of Pakistan should be followed effectively with the aim to retrieve looted money from corrupt elements and taking them to task.

The fight against corruption is multifarious and the Bureau is following and advocating policy of zero tolerance and self-accountability in eradicating corruption from the country. I seek support of all stakeholders especially the civil society for joining hands with the Bureau in the development of a corruption free society and to make Pakistan a prosperous country.

I would also like to take this opportunity to appreciate my predecessor, Mr. Qamar Zaman Chaudhry for all the hard work, he has put in making the Bureau more dynamic and efficient during his tenure.

I reassure the nation that my team and I shall work tirelessly in the war against corruption and certainly, if we all join hands, we will succeed in our mission.

Corruption has wide-ranging adverse effects on economy, society and governance. Its most deadly impact is on the poor. Corruption not only undermines democracy but also hinders good governance and weakens democratic institutions. The cost of corruption to society is enormous. In its 2017 report, ‘Global Financial Integrity’ estimates that Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) in 2014 alone ranged from US$ 1.4 trillion to US$ 2.5 trillion. The Panama and Paradise Papers revealed the magnitude of hidden wealth across the globe in offshore jurisdictions.

The current Chairman NAB, Mr. Justice Javed Iqbal took charge of his assignment in October 2017. He has termed eradication of corruption as his top most priority. He has adopted zero tolerance policy against corruption and has taken pragmatic steps to eliminate corruption from the society.

NAB, being the premier Anti-corruption watchdog, has been combating with corruption in a challenging environment prevailing in the country. NAB has been striving hard to curb the menace of corruption by adopting three pronged holistic approach i.e. Awareness, Prevention and Enforcement. The Awareness campaign is designed to create awareness amongst the masses against adverse effects of corruption. The Prevention approach is aimed at identifying grey areas which are prone to corruption and redressing the same through corrective measures. Under the Enforcement Regime, the perpetrators are criminally charged and looted money is recovered from them.

It is encouraging that the public at large reposes trust in NAB and supports it in its national pursuits. Resultantly, in the reporting year, a total number of 26551 x complaints were received at HQ / Regional NABs. NAB authorized 456 x inquiries and 215 x investigations and filed 199 x References in Accountability Courts during the year under report. NAB has recovered Rs. 2.065 billion during the year 2017 on the account of Voluntary Return and Plea Bargain. The conviction rate of NAB in the Courts stood at 70.8 %. This reflects excellent performance of NAB. The reports of renowned national and international organizations like Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency (PILDAT), Transparency International (Berlin) and World Economic Forum also acknowledged the strenuous efforts of NAB for eradication of corruption from the country.

The Bureau intensified its awareness campaign against menace of corruption and used various fora to create awareness amongst the masses against adverse effects of corruption. Numerous prevention committees were formed

to study the existing rules and regulations to fill in voids and grey areas, under section 33C of NAO 1999.

The Bureau inducted 8th batch, comprising 66 x officers through a merit-based and transparent recruitment process. The probation officers have undergone seven months comprehensive training at Police Training College Sihala. The selected officers received trainings overseas with the cooperation of the host countries. In house training at Regional and Federal level was enhanced for capacity building of NAB officers. Various trainings were conducted by National Crime Agency-UK and UNODC. This step will foster a close linkage and relationship between the anti-corruption organizations (national and international) and help evolve better work strategy towards the attainment of common anti-corruption goals. NAB is planning to establish its own Anti-corruption Academy at Islamabad on the pattern of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy. This Academy will be helpful in Capacity Building of Investigators / Prosecutors.

Pakistan’s Country Report was assessed by Norway and Solomon Island and after the approval of Federal Cabinet, UNODC launched the Executive summary of Pakistan’s Country Report on its website in Sep-2017. The Country Review Report shows fair picture of the existing Criminal Justice System pertaining to “Criminalization and Law Enforcement” and “International Cooperation”. This report also shows that Pakistan has criminalized most of UNCAC offences.

Under Partly Qualified Grading System (PQGS)-2016, the performance of seven regional offices of NAB was quantified during the Annual Inspections conducted in year 2017, wherein NAB (Lahore) was declared as the best Region for the year 2016.

Owing to the performance of NAB, Pakistan is the only country whose Corruption Perception Index has persistently declined. NAB has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China to oversee and ensure transparency in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects.

NAB appreciates the Federal and Provincial Governments for their cooperation and support in enabling it to perform its assigned functions. Combating corruption is a complex task. The cooperation of intelligentsia, parliamentarians, media and civil society is inevitable for success in this sacred endeavor.

With continued efforts we will, Insha Allah, achieve further visible improvements in the coming years.

The Nation was warned by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his speech to the then Constituent Assembly in these words “One of the biggest curses from which India is suffering, I do not say that other countries are free from it, but, I think our condition is much worse, is bribery and corruption. That really is a poison. We must put it down with an iron hand.”

Pakistan’s fight against corruption started in 1947, immediately after its creation as a State. The first law passed by the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan was the Prevention of Corruption Act. Since then the country has passed a number of laws and established agencies to curb corruption.

The Prevention of Corruption Act was promulgated in 1947, but it did not create any special agency. The special police inherited from the colonial administration served as the enforcement instrument under this law. The special police was part and parcel of the district police force. More importantly, this police did not have any kind of special resources at their disposal. Most of the time they had to rely upon the district police for availability of offices and personnel.

In the year 1975, this special police was merged into newly created Federal Investigating Agency. This law was limited to public servants in its scope. Definition of the misconduct was adopted from Pakistan Penal Code (Section 161) which defines misconduct as ‘obtaining of any gratification as a motive for doing or forbearing to do any official act’. However, through a later amendment the definition was broadened to include possession of pecuniary resources disproportionate to one’s known sources of income.

The third Anti-corruption effort was made during 1996 – 1998, when Ehtesab Commission was set up under this act in year 1996. This commission was supplemented by Ehtesab Bureau in 1997. The Bureau assumed the function of investigation while the Commission carried on with the prosecution. The law created special benches comprising the High Court judges which were to hear these anti-corruption cases. These benches were to decide the cases in 30 days. Our analysis of past three anti-corruption efforts in Pakistan makes it clear

that political use of anti-corruption laws, reliance on police, lack of resources and incomprehensive selective laws were the most prominent causes of failure of these efforts. In this backdrop, the National Accountability Ordinance was promulgated in 1999. It repealed the Ehtesab Bureau Act 1996 and established a completely new agency by the name of National Accountability Bureau on the pattern of anti-corruption agencies in Countries like Hong Kong and Singapore. NAB ordinance broadened the definition of corruption further to include “persons who maintain a living standard not commensurate with their known sources of income”. The scope of agency was also broadened to include private sector. Other perceived lacunas in the earlier laws are also addressed to give the Bureau a very comprehensive legal backing. Most importantly, the traditional doctrine of law which embodies the presumption of innocence of the accused was also changed in a bid to create an effective deterrence against corruption. It is now responsibility of the accused to prove his innocence. Remand law was also changed to give the Bureau enhanced powers of investigation. Criminal procedure laws in Pakistan normally allow a maximum of 14 days physical custody of the accussed to the investigating agencies but in case of NAB, the remand period can be enhanced upto 90 days. There is important change in the mission of the agency too as compared to earlier laws and agencies.

NAB operates under the National Accountability Ordinance-1999, with its Headquarters at Islamabad. It has seven Regional offices at Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Rawalpindi, Multan and Sukkur and a sub office at Gilgit Baltistan.

The organization is led by Chairman, a statutory appointment under NAO 1999. He is appointed by President in consultation with Leader of the House and Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly for non-extendable term of four years.

Deputy Chairman is the other statutory appointment and he is appointed by the President of Pakistan on the recommendations of Chairman NAB for a period of 03 years. The Deputy Chairman assists the Chairman NAB in the

performance of office duties and carries out such functions as may be directed by the Chairman.

Prosecutor General Accountability (PGA) is appointed by the President of Pakistan in consultation with Chairman NAB to hold an independent Prosecution office for providing necessary advice in legal matters to Chairman NAB for a period of 03 years. He is responsible, through his prosecution team, to institute and defend cases, appeals, petitions, applications and all other matters before any court or tribunal including High Court and Supreme Court in matters arising out of or relating to proceedings under NAO 1999.

The National Accountability Ordinance, 1999 vests vast powers in the Bureau to facilitate swift investigation of offences and successful disposal of cases. The law empowers NAB to freeze assets of accused person and also put his / her name on Exit Control List (ECL) through Ministry of Interior, and to call any person for information or to collect evidence to bring an investigation to a logical conclusion. Moreover, the Bureau can resort to international mutual legal assistance, so that suspects and assets beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the law-enforcement agencies can be brought within the ambit of law. Persons and organizations within or outside Pakistan may be employed to trace, detect or identify assets hoarded abroad.

Upon conclusion of the investigation, if deemed fit, Reference is filed in Accountability Court signed by the competent authority after concurrence of Prosecution Division / Wing. Under section 16 of NAO 1999, Accountability Courts were established throughout Pakistan.

NAB has been entrusted with the mandate to eradicate corruption by adopting a three-pronged approach comprising Awareness, Prevention and Enforcement. Within the domain of Awareness and Prevention, the National Accountability Bureau has been empowered to establish prevention committees for reformation in the existing Laws / Rules / Policies of public organizations to overcome weak / grey areas which may be prone to corruption & corrupt practices. Under awareness mandate, NAB intends to reach out to the civil society, especially the youth through educational institutions, and strike at the roots of corruption within public sector organizations by instituting

Operational Methodology

2.1 Enforcement Regime

Enforcement is one of the basic functions of the NAB’s Operational Methodology in Anti-Corruption drive. It consists of two-pronged Strategy. Through this approach by apprehending the culprits not only deterrence is created but plundered money is also being recovered from corrupt mafia.

A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been implemented in letter and spirit for smooth, efficient and effective disposal of the official work during Enforcement Regime.

2.1.1 Receipt of Complaints

Under section 18 of NAO 1999, NAB can take cognizance on receipt of complaint from private individual, government department or agency, member of the public or on its own accord.

2.1.2 Preliminary Examination / Complaint Verification (CV)

A Complaint Verification Cell is established at each Regional Bureau and at NAB HQ. A team of experienced officers looks into and scrutinizes the complaints and after that matter is taken up in the Complaint Scrutiny Meeting, wherein the fate of complaint is decided after thorough scrutiny / verification / detailed analysis. At this stage, decision can be CV, No Further Action (NFA) at NAB’s end, linked to ongoing case or referred to appropriate department.

In case of formal authorization of Complaint Verification (CV), the task is assigned to a team which is required to complete the CV within two months and prepare the Complaint Verification Report after obtaining legal opinion. The report is then placed

before Regional Board for further disposal of the complaint / CVR.

2.1.3 Inquiry

Inquiry is conducted by Combined Investigation Team (CIT) comprising Investigation Officer (IO), Case Officer (CO), Legal Consultant (LC) and Banking Expert. However, the inquiry is to be conducted under the SOPs which include collection of evidence to establish prima facie the accusation against the accused to the satisfaction of the Regional/ Executive Board after hearing the accused at least once. The option of Voluntary Return (VR) may be exercised u/s 25(a) at this stage by the accused person with the approval of Competent Authority. After completion of inquiry, it may be upgraded to investigation, closed or referred to other department as deemed appropriate.

2.1.4 Investigation

The very next step after finalization of inquiry is investigation, which is an advanced stage and authorization is given after scrutiny of evidence and discussion with experts (financial as well as legal). The investigator collects evidence and prepares report according to the law. The investigation process necessitates interviewing of accused, recording of witness statements, collection and examination of evidentiary material. The option of Plea Bargain (PB) with the approval of court may be exercised at this stage as per section 25 (b) of NAO 1999. Investigation may culminate in filing of reference or its closure through court under section 9 (c) of NAO 1999.

3.1 Overview

Through a comprehensive Operational Methodology, the enforcement regime of National Accountability Bureau also lends a hand for lessening corruption from society. Investigation wings at seven Regional Bureaus are the fundamental and indispensable units that have the responsibility for carrying out enforcement measures against corruption and corrupt practices. The Investigation Officers possess qualification relevant to the field of white collar crimes. They are fully equipped with the latest techniques to tackle with the complicated corruption cases. The mechanism of Combined Investigation Teams (CITs) having experts as members leave no stone unturned to dig out the facts of the crime and unearth hidden assets. During the period under report, National Accountability Bureau has successfully completed large number of mega and high profile cases.

The activities of Investigation wings of Regional Bureaus are monitored by NAB Headquarters through its Operations Division. This Division is also a bridge between Regional Bureaus and Chairman NAB. The Operations Division not only examines the recommendations of Regional Bureaus for decision by the Executive Board, but also, it analyzes the cases finalized by the Regions to avoid any element of discretion or human error.

The Operations Division also guides all the Regional Bureaus in any area that requires assistance. It also processes the matters requiring cooperation from other national and international agencies.

The Standard Operating Procedures available with all tiers of hierarchy not only bring uniformity in NAB’s working, but also provide guidance to process the operational matters in a proper and effective manner.

3.2 Complaints

NAB is a complaint driven organization. It takes cognizance on complaints received through mail, e-mail, fax, telephone or in person.

3.6 Voluntary Return (VR) and Plea Bargain (PB)

One of the objectives of NAB is to recover looted money from the delinquents. Voluntary Return (VR) and Plea Bargain (PB) are basically the mechanisms opted by the accused persons, under the provisions of NAO, 1999 through which illegal gains are recovered. Likewise, a considerable amount is recovered through indirect recoveries from defaulters of electricity bills etc.

NAB always encourages the recovery of corruption money. Recoveries

through VR and PB not only save expenditures of the State, but an early relief is also provided to victims of scams involving public at large. However, no VR has been approved in year 2017 in compliance of order of Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan.

During the year 2017, NAB recovered Rs. 2065.361 millions through VR and PB and Rs. 3374.174 millions through indirect recoveries. The details are given below:

The VR of Government officials is always discouraged to eliminate the corruption from Government Departments. The word Plea Bargain is sometimes misunderstood, as it is not any kind of bargain of looted amount, rather the person who opts PB is deemed to be convicted and returns full amount of corruption as determined by the NAB and approved by Accountability Court.

3.8 Exit Control List (ECL)

During conduct of inquiries / investigations and trials of corruption cases under NAO 1999, recommendations are made to Ministry of Interior (MOI) for placement of particular accused person on ECL to prevent absconding of accused. Such recommendations are made with due diligence, on merit and only after approval of the Chairman NAB. The details of this Bureau’s recommendations to Ministry of Interior during 2017 are as follows:

3.9 Financial Crimes Operations

A Banking Cell was established during initial days of NAB to deal with cases pertaining to financial crimes. Subsequently in March 2002, Banking Cell was renamed as Financial Crimes Investigation Wing (FCIW). This new Wing was mandated to investigate financial crime cases and assist other Wings in terms of banking / financial expertise. Realizing the importance of financial crime aspect in criminal cases, the authorities in NAB, on the occasion of 20th DGs conference held in October 2015 decided to absorb the Wing into mainstream and create banking experts pool under Operations Division at HQ level. However, FCIW at Regional level exists in the name of Investigation Wing III (IW-III). The responsibilities of the banking expert pool are to provide expert opinion, to the Investigation wings, in cases of wilful loan defaults, corporate frauds, financial scams, money laundering, suspicious transactions report etc. Expert pool has also been vested with the responsibility of verifying consequential gains on VR and PB

3.10.6 Completion of Country Review of Pakistan under First Cycle of UNCAC and Formal launching / publication of its Executive Summary by UNODC

The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) is a multilateral treaty negotiated by member States of the United Nations (UN) and promoted by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). It is the only comprehensive and universally binding instrument to control and counter corruption. UNCAC requires States Parties to comply with the treaty to implement several anti-corruption measures. Consequently States Parties are to undergo a review of their progress in compliance with the Implementation Review Mechanism of UNCAC, which is based on peer review system.

Pakistan signed and ratified the UNCAC in December 2003 and August 2007 respectively. Pakistan underwent its first review cycle of Chapter III (Criminalization and Law Enforcement) and Chapter IV (International Cooperation) of UNCAC and the country review was carried out by Norway and the Solomon Islands. The extensive review process was completed in July 2017 after the approval of Federal Cabinet and the formal concurrence of Government of Pakistan on Country Review Report of Pakistan under first cycle of UNCAC Implementation Review Mechanism was conveyed to UNODC Secretariat through our Permanent Mission in Vienna (Austria) and accordingly its Executive Summary was published / posted on the website of UNODC.

NAB being designated Central Authority of Pakistan under UNCAC, was the leading agency, whereas other relevant National Stakeholders including Ministry of Law, Ministry of Interior, State Bank of Pakistan, SECP, FIA, Financial Monitoring Unit (FMU) and four Provincial ACEs also remained actively engaged during the whole country review process.

The Country Review Report shows fair picture of the existing criminal justice system dealing with the subject under review pertaining to “criminalization & law enforcement” and “International Cooperation”. Successes / good practices have also been highlighted while reflecting the short comings and gaps. Furthermore, the report agrees that Pakistan has criminalized most of the UNCAC offences. In addition, amendments in the existing legislation have been highlighted to bring the same in line with the international commitments.

Moreover, the launching event of said country report was also conducted jointly by NAB and UNODC Country Office Pakistan in Islamabad on 21-09-2017.

3.10.7 Constitution of National Follow Up Committee (NFC) regarding Country Reviews of Pakistan under UNCAC

Subsequent to completion of country review process under first cycle of UNCAC, NAB has constituted a National Follow-up Committee (NFC) consisting of Focal Persons of all relevant national stakeholders. The objectives of constituting said committee are to coordinate and monitor the progress regarding the compliance / address of specific recommendations raised by Reviewers in the Country Review Report of Pakistan under first cycle for full and effective compliance of the provisions of UNCAC and to coordinate / assist in the preparations / filling in Self-Assessment Checklist (SACL) for the second review cycle under UNCAC. Certain follow-up actions have been taken by national stakeholders which have been communicated to UNODC Secretariat.

Moreover, second Review Cycle under the Implementation Review Mechanism of UNCAC was launched in June 2016. As per drawing of lots, Pakistan’s review under second cycle would be started in 4th year i.e. from July 2019. During second review cycle, Chapter 2 on Preventive Measures and Chapter 5 on Asset Recovery would be reviewed. In addition, Pakistan is also carrying out country review of Australia and Lao People’s Democratic Republic along with other reviewing State Parties during the ongoing second year of second review cycle.

3.10.8 Signing and Ratification of ECO Statute by Pakistan on Regional Centre for Cooperation of Anti-Corruption Agencies and Ombudsmen (RCCACO)

The Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) has established Regional Centre for Cooperation of Anti-Corruption Agencies and Ombudsmen (RCCACO). The ECO consists of ten members States which includes Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. NAB has signed and ratified the statute of ECO-RCCACO in 2017 after approval by the Government of Pakistan. This statute would be enforced when four member states of ECO would ratify it, and presently only Iran and Pakistan have ratified the statute.

During the recent Regional Planning Council (RPC) meeting of ECO hosted by Pakistan, we have urged other member States to sign / ratify the statute soon for its enforcement. The mandate of this forum is to strengthen cooperation and assistance amongst ECO countries and close interaction / sharing of best practices in relation to anti-corruption measures, cooperation between anti-corruption agencies and Ombudsman office.

In a significant move, UK Central Authority (UKCA) has designated a dedicated Focal Person for processing all MLA requests of Pakistan. It is unprecedented that UKCA has designated its Focal Person for any individual country as UKCA has desks only for different regions.

3.10.11 Workshop on Asset Recovery conducted by NAB and UNODC

In addition, a Workshop was conducted in October, 2017 by NAB and UNODC under its Regional Program on Afghanistan and Neighboring countries on the topic “International Cooperation in Asset Recovery and Confiscation”. The regional program consists of 8 x countries i.e. Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

This Workshop was aimed at establishing an informal Regional Forum on asset recovery i.e. Asset Recovery Inter-agency Network on West and Central Asia (ARIN - WCA), for exchange of information related to asset recovery matters among the Regional Group Members.

4.1 It has been almost two decades since the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was established under the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO), 1999, after an outcry from the public that corruption had damaged their welfare and stability of the country. Since then NAB has fought against bribery and corruption as a priority in its overall endeavor. Prosecution of corruption is particularly difficult and onerous task, therefore, the office of the Prosecutor General Accountability, NAB is of immense importance as it has to be highly professional and transparent. It is also required to adopt a bipartisan approach and remain completely independent and neutral in order to ensure eradication of corruption but at the same time to also ensure that there is no witch hunting. Thus the office of Prosecutor General Accountability is required to be free from any undue influence which by the grace of Almighty Allah has been a hallmark of this office from day one and every endeavor is made to make it more vibrant and more effective. It is also of paramount importance that investigation conducted is translated into effective prosecution by applying correct law and bringing to the notice of the court the relevant material highlighting corruption and the offences emanating from them in consonance with the judicial principles enacted by the superior courts and more particularly by the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan. The office of the Prosecution General Accountability makes all endeavors to exercise this rule with complete impartiality, independence and efficiency to combat the malaise of corruption.

4.2 The fundamental tenet of Constitution is that everyone is equal under the law. Keeping this noble principle in mind, the office of the Prosecutor General Accountability has always acted effectively when corruption suspects are either wealthy or powerful as they are all treated equally without discrimination in accordance with law. References are prepared upon credible evidence, on merit and set standards of law. Thereafter a strict mechanism to keep check and balance on the Prosecutors is set in motion. This is done through a strong monitoring system where performance reports are submitted and examined daily in the office of Prosecutor General Accountability and every effort is made to ensure that courts are ably assisted and progress monitored on fast track basis.

Note: Historically, disposal of Reference with PB and application u/s 25(b) awarded reference number were accounted for calculation of conviction.

4.4.2 Summary of qua-chart is as under:

i. Total References filed: 199 (No. of reference(s) filed for trial u/s 18 (g), only)

ii. Total References decided: 155 (Figure excludes all Applications filed u/s 25 (b) and 9 (c) irrespective whether reference number awarded or not)

iii. Convictions: – u/s 10 of NAO, 1999: 68 (@ 64.7%) – u/s 25 (b) of NAO, 1999 and 37 reference disposed off

Total convictions 105 @ 73.9 % (excluding 205

PBs u/s 25(b) during trial / investigation by individual accused)

iv. Acquittals 37

Prosecution has got 68 convictions whereas acquittals were only 37. This translates into convictions u/s 10 of NAO, 1999 @64.7%. This is pertinent to mention that the conviction figures during past years include those under section 25(b) of NAO, 1999. The disposed cases regarding Plea Bargain, if included, make the conviction percentage up to 73.9%. All the above calculations don’t take into account 242 individuals who opted for PB but the cases not concluded at PB stage.

1. These are cases filed by NAB for prosecution under section 18(g) of NAO, 1999 (i.e. trial); however, during trial

proceedings, all accused persons entered into PB and Reference disposed of.2. These are instance(s) where one or more accused persons of Reference (filed for prosecution under section

18(g)) came forward and applied for PB during trial; however, Reference against other accused person is un-derway.

3. These are the applications for acceptance under section 25(b) of accused persons facing investigation; Refer-ence yet to be filed.

4. This figure does not includes rows at S.No. 6, 7 and 8 i.e. (PB of individual accused persons facing trial, PB in under Investigation cases and Applications filed by NAB for closure of case under section 9(c) of NAO, 1999).

During trial, Prosecution’s performance against applications u/s 265-K of Cr.P.C. has remained good. Prosecution achieved favourable orders in 112 such applications out of 143 which translate into 78.3% success rate.

4.5 Witness Handling

The mechanism evolved to watch the attendance of witnesses in Courts has improved the performance of Prosecution and NAB has demonstrated a good control in ensuring the attendance of witnesses in most of the Regions. In 2017, 6408 x witnesses were recorded in 21 Accountability Courts. Recording of witnesses involves the efforts of both Prosecution and the Courts as only Courts have the power to make imperative the attendance of Defence Counsel. Prosecutor General has instructed conducting prosecutors of Courts to aggressively pursue the trial. If the Defence is using unnecessary delaying tactics, the prosecution record protest and tries to make sure that cost is imposed on Defence Counsel.

The concept of Liaison Committees at Accountability Court level is therefore very essential since this is the only forum where we can address this matter. DPGAs may convince the Courts to make necessary efforts for ensuring statutory mandate of speedy trial. Presently, witness recording ratio per Court per day is only one witness per Court; with this pace the pendency of 1000 plus references cannot be tackled. Statistics in this regard are as under:-

6. 4 Chairman’s Inspection and Monitoring Team

6.4.1 The Nation has a great hope from NAB for playing a dynamic role to eradicate corruption from the country. Although, we are still far short to achieve the aim, however, NAB has been able to establish itself as an institution which through sheer hard work, honest dedication can create an enabling environment in the country, where the corruption will no more be the way of life. This achievement would not have been possible without the efforts of the dedicated Chairman’s Inspection and Monitoring Team (CI&MT).

6.4.2 In order to achieve the goals the team worked in all the spheres as described in the scope of the CI&MT. The main purpose of CI&MT is to independently examine the efficiency and performance of NAB through quantitative and qualitative monitoring. It acts as an instrument available with the Chairman to identify the weaknesses in Regional NABs and NAB HQ to initiate remedial measures for improvement. CI&MT plays the role of force multiplayer to improve the overall efficiency and performance of NAB. The expertise available in the CI&MT has always been useful while making policy decisions and further improvements in the Bureau.

6.4.3 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

the Operational Methodology and the SOPs is a mandatory requirement unless due to a peculiar reason, the practice cannot be followed. Approval for deviation will be obtained from the Competent Authority. For this purpose, Chairman NAB in the overall perspective and respective Regional DGs within their Regions are the “Competent Authorities”. At any stage, due to a court decision, if it is observed that any of the SOP is in conflict with any clause of NAO 1999, the same will be immediately processed for revision / correction. CI&MT has been assigned the task to maintain the master folder of the NAB SOPs. Concerned Division may process the revision / change or issuance of new SOP which shall after approval by Chairman NAB, before or after presentation in DGs Conference, be incorporated in the master file, besides circulation to all concerned.

6.4.4 Monitoring

CI&MT carries out continuous monitoring of complete NAB Operations, Prosecution and Prevention activities. Regional progress on all the happenings is being monitored regularly and put up to the Chairman for information and further directions.

Guidelines are issued to the concerned Regions for corrective actions on the directions of Chairman NAB.

6.4.4.1 Daily Occurrence Report (DOR)

6.5.1 The role of Media is very vital in any society as media has transformed the world into global village by reducing commu-nication gaps among people living in far flung areas. Media serves as a major tool of awareness / education and provides a platform to public and private sector to highlight their point of view / opinion of almost all issues of public importance.

6.5.2 The role of media in Pakistan is very important for highlighting

the initiatives / developments of the country. It is the media who highlights strengths and weaknesses of the institution / organizations and disseminates information / education. NAB by acknowledging the importance of media, has always in-volved Media in functioning of all its tiers i.e. Awareness, Pre-vention and Enforcement.

6.5.3 NAB’s Media Wing under the dynamic leadership of Honorable Justice Mr. Javed Iqbal, Chairman NAB through its proactive approach has tried to highlight NAB’s efforts to eradicate cor-ruption and corrupt practices from the country and to aware people at large about the ill effects of corruption.

Way ForwardThe fight for justice against corruption is not easy. It never has been and never will be. No doubt, the corruption exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children. People of Pakistan are increasingly disgruntled by the way public affairs are tackled which, some see, benefits the “happy few” to the detriment of everyone else. The reasons are complex, but “corruption” – in all its forms and manifestations of immoral and dishonest manners - is the unspoken word in this equation. The corruption, being the biggest challenge of our time, slows down development process, breaches fundamental human rights, distorts trade, undermines the security of our state, and weakens the economy and social fabric of our society. It is responsible for the vast inequalities in our society and worsens poverty, the poor being the most affected.

To fulfill its mandate towards curbing corruption and corrupt practices from the society, NAB remains a torch bearer in providing the requisite support to all segments of the society. NAB is determined to continue its mission through a holistic three-pronged strategy of Awareness, Prevention and Enforcement.

In the coming days, spirited awareness efforts will be made to keep corruption an issue of public concern. All segments of the society would be taken along to bolster a culture of honesty in individual as well as collective perspective. Special emphasis in this regard would be given to the educational institutes which are the nurseries of future leaders. Further establishment and mobilization of Character Building Societies (CBS), arrangement of lectures, interactive sessions, declamation contests and painting poster competitions can be affective tools to achieve the desired goals. NAB in collaboration with Ministry of Federal Education & Professional Training and National Curriculum Council (NCC) has got approval of incorporation of anti-corruption themes in the academic curriculum of grade I-V.

To further enhance the awareness amongst the general masses, NAB has already joined hands with print and electronic media, writers, religious scholars, intelligencia and civil society. Further efforts would be carried out to strengthen such collaboration through seminars, workshops and introduction of more informative and user friendly website. The public education and awareness campaign must draw on the most effective of communication strategies, be credible, be age appropriate and reach varying demographic segments. The campaign must be regularly executed and refreshed. A one-time, one dimensional effort will fail to achieve the goal.

Way Forward

Apart from awareness initiatives, NAB gives equal importance to prevention of corruption in public and private sectors. Strengthening the role of regulators, efficient public reporting, vigilant public procurement and management of public finances, active participation of private sector and civil society are some of the prominent measures to achieve the desired ends. Being cognizant of the matter, NAB has already taken number of initiatives in the regard and will pursue the matter more vigorously in the days ahead. Although NACS (National Anti Corruption Strategy), 2002 is a fantastic document to tackle with the core issue of corruption, however due to one or the other reason it could not bear the desired results. It is need of the hour to revise / revamp the said strategy through a broad participation, consultation and consensus of all stakeholders.

Being the apex anti-corruption organization of the country, NAB is striving against corruption on international front also. In this regard NAB is responsible to represent Pakistan on various international forums such as UNCAC, SAARC Anti-Corruption Forum etc. The GOP signaled its intent to join Open Government Partnership (OGP) through a letter signed by Finance Minister at the 2016 OGP Global Summit in Paris. NAB is the focal organization on anticorruption thematic area of OGP and is assisting the GOP for preparation of commitments in this regard as required by OGP.

Finally, it is pertinent to mention that deterrence against corruption would be ensured through effective enforcement efforts. The current management of NAB is determined to deal with the menace of corruption with an iron hand. To strengthen its operations, NAB has to further fortify its investigation force. In this regard various initiatives have been taken e.g. induction of 8th batch of IOs during the year, organizing various training programs of national and international level round the year in accordance with Training Need Assessment (TNA) report prepared by NAB in consultation with National Crime Agency UK, up-gradation of NAB’s Forensic lab, improvement of MES and strengthening of internal accountability mechanism.

Some of the future plans in hand are; establishment of anti corruption academy by NAB in collaboration with UNODC and Government of Qatar, strengthening formal coordination mechanism including shared database among NAB, ACE and other anti-corruption watchdogs / accountability bodies, addition of anti-corruption themes in academic curriculum of classes VI-XII, signing of MOU with Malaysia on exchange of information and co-operation between two countries for anti-corruption efforts, up-gradation of NAB websites to make it more informative and transparent, further strengthening of Forensic Lab of NAB with the assistance of INL USA and to ensure transparency MOU signed between NAB and Government of China in CPEC projects.
