Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry on Monday said that the incumbent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) -led government has not suggested any names for the post of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman. The minister took to his official Twitter handle to state that media reports claiming the party has suggested names were “not correct”. “The names will be decided after consultation in the coming days,” he maintained. چئرمین نیب کے عہدے کیلئے تحریک انصاف نے کوئ نام تجویز نہی کیا اس حوالے سے میڈیا پر خبریں درست نہیں ہیں، آنے والے دنوں میں مشاورت کے بعد اس ضمن میں ناموں کا فیصلہ کیا جائیگا۔ — Ch Fawad Hussain (@fawadchaudhry) December 27, 2021 His tweet comes after sources on Saturday said that the process for the appointment of the new chairman of NAB continues to be marred by delay on the part of President Arif Alvi even as considerable time has elapsed on deliberation. Read: Govt finalising draft for NAB chairman’s appointment Two weeks ago, the Ministry of Law pushed the lingering process a few significant steps ahead by forwarding a summary to President Alvi in compliance with Prime Minister Imran Khan’s instructions, the sources said. With the ball now in the president’s court, the sources added, the president could not proceed with the talks with both the prime minister and the leader of the opposition. Dr Arif Alvi, in the light of a judgement of the Supreme Court, is supposed to consult the prime minister and the leader of opposition in the National Assembly for NAB chairman. The term of incumbent chairman retired Justice Javed Iqbal expired in October. However, the government extended his term through a presidential ordinance.
