Arrest warrants for Kamran Kayani issued: NAB chairman

ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry on Monday said a court in Lahore has issued arrest warrants for Kamran Kayani and the corruption watchdog continues to work on the case, according to Geo News.

Speaking at the Quaid-e-Azm University, he said the NAB was prepared to discharge its duties if it was commissioned any task with regard to Panama Papers case.

He refused to comment when asked whether he would like to respond to Imran Khan’s criticism.

APP adds: Qamar Zaman Chaudhry said eradication of corruption is indispensable for strengthening the country s economy.

He said corruption is more prevalent in developing countries as compared to the developed ones and it badly impacts society governance and youth.

The NAB Chairman said youth comprises over 60 percentof the total country's population so their role is crucial for eradication of corruption.

He said inequality, lesser opportunities, unemployment and low quality education lead the people towards adopting corrupt means to become successful.

He urged the students to express zero tolerance for corruption and play their role for inculcating positive behaviour and good deeds in their surroundings.

The students must play pivotal role in promoting awareness and taking steps for eradication of corruption to make the country prosperous, he said.

Chairman NAB termed corruption as the root cause of all the ills in the society and said "corruption is the only hurdle for the countries like ours to achieve success and progress".

He said NAB has urged all the universities to join hands in its endeavours to eliminate corruption, however, QAU has taken initial step in this regard which is appreciable.
