LARKANA: Senate Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani said on Sunday that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had completely failed to deliver under the present circumstances. “The accountability of all people, including politicians and bureaucrats, should be done under one law, and there should also be one court to deal with these issues,” he said, while talking to media at Garhi Khuda Bux Town, near Naundero.
Rabbani said that a National Accountability Commission should be established and all stakeholders should be members of its board of directors. He said accountability courts should be under the high courts to make the process transparent. He said that he had written an open letter a few days back, in which he had talked in detail about the new system. A copy of the letter, he said, had also been sent to the parliamentary committee looking into the NAB law.
Rabbani said that when the 18th Amendment of the Constitution had been passed, both the Pakistan People’s Party and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz had supported the formation of a caretaker government for holding general elections. “The caretaker government’s work should be confined to holding free, fair and elections. It should not make long-term economic agreements with IMF and other agencies,” he said. He said that the national security policy should be reviewed by the parliament, adding that Pakistan’s foreign policy should also be debated and reviewed in Parliament.
