Cabinet approves forming a committee to amend NAB law

A cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif approved the formation of a committee headed by the Law Minister to amend the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law.

During the meeting, it was pointed out that “NAB’s black law” was used only for political revenge, harassment of government officials and the business community.

The committee will also include personalities from the legal fraternity, banking sector, bureaucracy and other fields.

Other than this, PM informed the cabinet that the country is facing a severe heatwave for which a special task force has been formed under the Ministry of Climate Change.

This task force will also take steps to address climate change so that the threats to Pakistan can be addressed in a timely manner.

Moreover, Rs 52 billion has been reserved for the Petroleum Division.
