As a forensic audit report holds 61 officials responsible for the loss of Rs18.5 billion in Bangladesh operations of National Bank of Pakistan, a parliamentary panel has referred the scam to the National Accountability Bureau to catch the culprits and recover the money.
The decision to involve the country’s top-most accountability body was taken by the National Assembly Standing Committee on Finance and Revenue, headed by Omar Ayub Khan of the PML-N.
The committee took the decision as the number of officials accused of causing the loss grew from 27 to 61 including former presidents and the loss increased to Rs18.5 billion against the initially reported figure of Rs11 billion.
Ayub also directed the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan to initiate action against NBP’s external auditors who could not pick glaring irregularities.
