Chairman NAB

NAB, the country’s top anti-graft watchdog,^[1] had almost become dysfunctional after the Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the then NAB chairman Fasih Bokhari through its 28 May 2013 judgment. Qamar Zaman has held several key positions in his career.^[5] Qamar Zaman was criticized in the local media after Supreme Court ordered an investigation of Qamar for his alleged involvement in a major corruption scandal. However, an internal inquiry carried out by his own agency did not lead to any formal charges against him in a court of law.^[6]
