ISLAMABAD: Outdated system in Pakistan cannot function effectively against corruption, as was mentioned in the report of Transparency International Pakistan‘s CPI of 2020, said Mirza Shahzad Akbar, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability.
Shahzad Akbar, in a statement asserted that the opposition is playing tricks on the global corruption’s report and it needs a proper clarification. “Transparency International is a pressure group that does not work in practice, but the the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is taking practical steps against corruption”, he added.
“Even Australia and Canada dropped one and three points respectively”, he said, adding that the US and UK also witnessed a downfall of two and three points severally.
He went on to say that the PTI-led government is taking effective measures against corruption in the country. He expressed that Transparency International also loathes corruption the same as PTI.
He added that reforms are underway in the Financial Board of Revenue (FBR), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) laws are effectively being modified to battle the corruption.
