ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Law and Justice on Monday notified retired Lt Gen Nazir Ahmad as new chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The ministry issued the notification a couple of days after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Leader of the Opposition Raja Riaz decided to appoint Mr Ahmad as the head of the anti-graft buster watchdog.
The notification states the appointment has been made for three years. Mr Ahmad’s appointment came after Aftab Sultan stepped down, saying he had refused to toe the line of anyone.
