Mr. Justice Javed Iqbal

Chairman National Accountability Bureau
2
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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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.

Overview
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
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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
7
Overview
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
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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.

INTRODUCTION
Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Introduction
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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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

12
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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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
13
Introduction
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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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

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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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.

3.6 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

The VR of Government officials is always discouraged to eliminate the

rather the person who opts PB is deemed to be convicted and returns full

Court.

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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Launching ceremony of Country Review Report at Islamabad

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
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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.

Operations
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
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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.
3.10.9 Pakistan’s participation as a Panelist
It is an honor for NAB that it has represented Pakistan as

Panelist in Open-ended Intergovernmental Working Group
50
on Prevention (at UNODC Headquarters) at Vienna
(Austria). Chairman NAB delivered a comprehensive
presentation to all State Parties during session on the
effects of Pakistan as far as prevention of corruption is
concerned. Pakistan for the first time conducted the session
as Panelist in the history of UNODC.
3.10.10 Designation of dedicated Focal Person by UK Central

Authority for Pakistan’s MLA requests
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 -

Prosecution
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
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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.
58

4.3 The work of the office of the Prosecutor General is reflected in the
quantititve analysis of the year 2017. The accumulative success ratio
of conviction rate is 70.8% (This accumulative success ratio includes
direct conviction at Accountability Court at 64.7% and with total
convictions at 73.9%; in Honorable High Courts the maintainability
ratio was at 47.1% and the Constitution /Writ Petition ratio was at
73.4%; and at the Supreme Court of Pakistan the performance ratio
was at 47.1%. It is necessary to mention that this performance ratio
figures do not include deemed conviction of 242 individuals). The
overall success ratio of the office of the Prosecutor General is 78.3%
in filling applications under section 265-K of the Code of Criminal
Procedure, 1898. The various charts attached are reflective of the
performance of the Office of the Prosecutor General Accountability.

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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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:-

160
vide CMA No. 4108/2015 regarding the need of
an effective M&E system in NAB, Monitoring
and Evaluation System (MES) was indigenously

exhibition titled “Exhibition on Use of Information
Technology in Justice Sector” organized by
Secretariat of Law & Justice Commission of
Pakistan on August 29–30,2016 at Marriot
Hotel, Islamabad. The then Chief Justice of

capacity.
Advisor M&E Anees Ahmad & Former PGA briefed the

Honorable Justice Qazi Faiz Essa and Ashtar Ausaf Ali,
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Attorney General of Pakistan during Exhibition on Use

of Information Technology in Justice Sector
6.1.4.1.2 Introduction
MES is an interactive web-based system

developed to augment the operational and
internal monitoring capabilities of the Bureau. It
serves as a robust internal database for all the
161
161
Support Operations
cases processed by NAB every year by

providing each complaint a unique identification
number for tracking the progress and status of
complaint for efficient reporting.
The system caters the data related to the core

functions of NAB starting from Complaint
Registration till its logical conclusion i.e. finality
of case in the court of law. The progress achieved
while processing the complaints through different
levels like Compliant Verification, Inquiry,
Investigation and Prosecution is being entered in
the system for data management & reporting. The
decisions taken during the progression of every
case are also maintained in the system.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
6.1.4.1.3 MES Progress in 2017
Keeping in view the organizational requirements,

several up-gradations have been made in MES
under the supervision of Advisor M&E for
enhancing its scope and to make it more
interactive and user friendly in terms of reporting
and data management. Some of the salient
162
162
features upgraded and added in MES during
the year 2017 are as follows:-
6.1.4.1.3.1 Executive Dashboard has been redesigned to

reflect the rationalized data pertaining to each
regional Bureau, thus enabling the executives
to evaluate the periodic performance relating to
number of complaints received & disposed-off,
cases authorized, and under-process at
different levels. It also shares the updated the
number of cases processed by each regional
bureau during a specific time period as well as
the updated status of each case alongwith the
details of concerned officer.
6.1.4.1.3.2 Several reports have also been added for the

quantitative analysis of data to enhance the
internal performance. The reports enable the
executives to evaluate the precision of data
entered in the system, the performance of each
investigation officer and the key activities/
actions taken while processing the case.
Reports not only cover the case details and the
accused related information but also entail the
reference level cases.
6.1.4.1.3.3 Prosecution Module has also been configured

to cover the progress for the number of
references filed in Accountability Courts by
each regional bureau of NAB as well as the
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
court proceedings of under trail references &

decisions.
6.1.4.1.3.4 Automated executive alert system for the

regulatory compliance has also been upgraded
to incorporate several required changes to
adhere the strict internal deadlines related to
case proceedings, references filed in
Accountability Courts, special court instructions
163
163
Support Operations
& the cause list for next date of court hearing.

These alerts enable the executives to track the
critical deadlines related to each case and
assist for efficient management decisions.
The above mentioned configurations have

strikingly contributed to improve the efficiency
of MES in streamlining the data for iperformance
reporting to the executives for effective
management interventions & decision making.
NAB aims to continue striving for the further
enhancement of MES by incorporating new
features to make it more robust for the
organizational effectiveness.

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
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
useful while making policy decisions and further

improvements in the Bureau.
6.4.3 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
To implement the NAO-1999, the working procedures

have been carved out and named as SOPs. Adherence to
181
181
Support Operations
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. The main segments are the Daily
Occurrence Report, Weekly Monitoring and Monthly
analysis of the performance of each Region. Guidelines
are issued to the concerned Regions for corrective actions
on the directions of Chairman NAB.
6.4.4.1 Daily Occurrence Report (DOR)

ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Each Region initiates this report on daily basis.

All the happenings of the previous day in eight
columns send to CI&MT, to present the same to
the Chairman. On specific occurrence, if some
action is required, then it is accordingly suggested
by the Senior Member. The overall activities of
NAB remain under the direct observation of the
Chairman through this report on daily basis.
182
182
6.4.4.2 Weekly Monitoring Report (WMR)
All the Regions inform about their operational

progress on weekly basis. The report includes
the activities by NAB prosecution in Accountability
Courts and respective High Courts.
6.4.4.3 Monthly Analysis of Weekly Monitoring

Reports and Guidelines issued
Every month, progress analysis of the

performance of each Region is carried out and
put up to Chairman; these analyses after
approval are shared with the concerned Regions.
Each Regional DG is intimated about the
Regional performance, weak areas, analysis
carried out along with the advice of the Chairman
is forwarded. Accordingly the effect of this
advice is monitored in the next month Weekly
Monitoring Reports. It is a matter of appreciation
that Regions take these remarks seriously and
implement these for corrective actions. Many a
times there are long discussions between DGs
and Senior Member for further improvements.
6.4.5 Annual Inspections

ANNUAL REPORT 2017
The concept of inspections in NAB insists to assess

system performance with a view to find out conformance
with the given policy guidelines, SOPs, instructions and to
measure the degree of efficiency of work duly highlighting
non-performance / omissions / inefficiencies. Annual
Inspection of all Regional NABs and HQ is carried out
every year in January and February for the preceding
year. In this respect, it is pertinent to mention that the
process of Annual Inspection in NAB has been developed
183
183
Support Operations
as comparable to international Institutions. The best

practices and the system of evaluation which were
introduced in the previous years, i.e. Partly Quantified
Grading System (PQGS) have been improved to Complete
Quantified Evaluation System in year 2017. The
compliance on the points raised in the previous year
Annual Inspections has been ensured in the year 2017
through regular appraisal of progressive developments to
Chairman NAB.
6.4.6 Mid Year Review of Operations & Prosecution

Performance
Mid year review of operational aspects and the prosecution

performance for the first half of year 2017 in comparison
with first half year 2016 has been conducted. The same
has now become a permanent feature. CI&MT is an
instrument available with Chairman to oversee the
performance of the Bureau through a composite system
of Monitoring and Inspections. The high standard of
Accountability achieved by NAB in the year 2017 is a
reflection of the vision of its leadership, materialized
through effective management and optimum utilization of
available resources.

6.4.7 Inspection Ingredients
The preparations, planning including the selection of

competent officers for the inspection, collection of
performance data through Inspection Performa and paper
work is completed by the month of December of the
inspection year. The process of Annual Inspection starts
in January. The inspection team conducts thorough audit
of each and every function of the Region for three days. At
the conclusion of inspection, the inspection team holds a
conference with the respective DG along with complete
Regional hierarchy. The conference is presided by
Chairman NAB. In an exhaustive daylong session, all the
weaknesses along with the strengths of the Region are
highlighted. Directors and heads of different segments
are directly answerable to the Chairman. Finally, the
Senior Member of the team apprises the Chairman about
the PQGS results and informs about the standing of
Region as per the operational efficiency index and the
quality management of the Region. The briefing session
ends on Chairman’s advisory note. Soon after, a
comprehensive post inspection report is prepared and
Regions are informed. During remaining part of the year,
the Regional NABs rectify their weaknesses to be
rechecked by the inspection team in the next year. Through
these exhaustive efforts, NAB has become internally a
competent, progressive Bureau, capable of meeting
challenges for creation of enabling environment for
making Pakistan a corruption free society.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
6.4.8 Quantified Grading System (QGS)
PQGS was evolved in Bureau to make the operational

assessment of Regional NABs transparent and to create
a healthy competition within the organization. The
evaluation system completely quantifies in such a
transparent manner that Regional NABs could judge their
185
185
Support Operations
complete performance of the year at their own. The

process has been introduced to make evaluation unbiased
and transparent. Emphasis has been laid to check the
Quantitative and Qualitative Performance of Regional
NABs through different tools introduced by CI&MT. This
way the proportional efficiency of each Region is
determined and the respective Region declared best is
awarded trophy by President of Pakistan and all ranks of
that Region are awarded one bonus ex-gratia. This year,
NAB (L) was awarded the best Regional trophy on
December 8, 2017 by President Islamic Republic of
Pakistan.
6.4.9 Internal Accountability Mechanism (IAM)
The Chairman Mr. Justice Javed Iqbal has extended

foremost emphasis on the internal accountability and as
per the SOP; the first priority of cases to be investigated
by NAB is against its own officers. The IAM created within
CI&MT has been tasked to effectively process all the
complaints against the NAB employees. IAM receives
complaints against NAB employees for any undesirable
activity during the sensitive operational handling /
processing of the cases. Its objective is to process
complaints against NAB employee thus making the
Bureau a more efficient and robust organization by
highlighting failures, laxities, inefficiencies, corruption and
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
recommend actions against delinquents. In the year 2017,

a total of 117 complaints against NAB employees were
received and processed. Those who were found to be
involved in any misconduct were taken to task according
to the gravity of their involvement / mistake. Environments
have been created in NAB, where every investigator has
a feeling of being observed all the times during the
investigation.

6.5 Media Wing
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.

reaus of NAB, not only in their respective areas of jurisdiction
but also in the federal capital in order to aware people about
the Awareness, Prevention and Enforcement activities carried
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
out by RNABS in print and electronic media very prominently.

It helps in boosting up the positive image of NAB. Due to this
reason, local and International Watchdogs have also appreci-
ated NAB’s performance from time to time.
6.5.5 Media Wing NAB publishes a special supplement at the eve of

International Anti-Corruption Day with NAB message on “Say

to make the importance of the day. NAB’s Media Wing main-

tains close liaison with print and electronic media in order to
highlight NAB’s performance and Anti-Corruption Strategy ad-
opted by the present management of NAB. The Media Wing
under the supervision of Director Media and kind guidance of
Honorable Justice Mr. Javed Iqbal, Chairman NAB has worked
hard to boost up the image and activities of NAB in print and
electronic media. The efforts of NAB Media Wing remained
very successful during 2017. Due to this reason, print and elec-
tronic media highlighted NAB’s performance very prominently
in a positive manner and media has always joined hands with
NAB in eradication of corruption for corruption free Pakistan.

Way Forward
The 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
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
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.
193
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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Some of the future plans in hand are; establishment of anti corruption academy
