Corruption Probe Ordered against Musharraf
2008-11-06
ISLAMABAD — The newly formed Public Accounts Committee (PAC), a key accountability panel of the National Assembly has, in its first meeting, decided to launch a probe against former president Pervez Musharraf on corruption charges and abuse of power in the grant of contracts in the communication ministry
This is how they'll get Perv. The military and ISI will not be willing to defend him on a corruption charge, since he's guilty, just like every other politician in Pak-land without exception is guilty. It's in their culture. The military will feed him to the dogs and move on with whatever plans they have.
The PAC, headed by PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, formed a five-member sub-committee which also includes two former members of the Musharraf regime, Zahid Hamid and Hamid Hiraj. The contract was carried out by the National Highway Authority (NHA) whose chairman has also been charged with importing four vehicles worth Rs40 million in violation of rules.

Chaudhry Nisar said he would talk to army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani to let the panel conduct probe against military officers on allegations of corruption.

The PAC directed that the ministry recover Rs16 million paid illegally to Hasnain Construction Company, an outfit owned by the father-in-law of Gen. Musharraf’s son Bilal. “You have already given them many lucrative contracts in the past. Get this money back or get ready for strict action against all of you,” warned Nisar Ali Khan.

PAC members were shocked when Nisar informed them that a billion rupee Rest House was being built at Naraan (Northern Areas) with the taxpayersÂ’ money after blocking the flow of a river and playing havoc with the environment only for the bosses of the NHA and their families.
