most corrupt nation in the world. Corruption has spread like a wild fire
across the country consuming all public and private sectors. Recently, a
corruption case against Nawaz Sharif was dismissed where it was alleged
that he allotted land to his friends. Supreme Court asked Pakistan Railways
to report the names of people involved in selling scrap at throwaway prices
and buying overpriced bulbs to the National Accountability Bureau. Concerns
were voiced by the Chief Justice of Pakistan over non-transparency in the
rental power projects, which if proven true would signal the end of these
projects. FIA interrogated PM Gillani's son, Abdul Qadir, in a Haj
corruption case where the financing of a bullet proof jeep was dubious.
Defense Ministry allegedly found 88 armed officials involved in corruption
while the Public Accounts Committee declared three top army generals
responsible for the Rs1.8 billion losses in the National Logistics Cell
scam. Transparency International raised allegations about bribery involved
in the procurement of 2 aircrafts on lease for Haj operations. Federal
Bureau Revenue recovered Rs 7.39 billion from energy companies which were
concealing payable liability for the past few years. Chaudhry Nisar's
resignation from the Public Accounts Committee over the controversial
appointment of the new Attorney General of Pakistan made us realize that
even the agencies created to counter corruption were not free from this
disease. On the international front, 3 players from our national cricket
team were found guilty of spot-fixing during the Lord's Test between
England and Pakistan last August.
