The Provincial Government was successfully rescued from the contractor’s 31.5 billion rupee lawsuit in the International Court of Arbitration by the National Accountability Bureau, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The NAB opened an investigation in 2018 into claims that contractors in the Peshawar bus rapid transit project had submitted false performance guarantees, improperly obtained government cash, and obtained a contract that was not authorized.
For a few years, there was no significant advancement in the case. The current Director General, however, expedited the probe and saved 168.5 billion rupees by bringing the massive corruption scheme to a successful and efficient close.
