The chairman said "NAB's faith is Corruption free Pakistan". NAB's efforts have been appreciated by national and international reputed organizations like Transparency International Pakistan, World Economic Forum, PILDAT and Mishal Pakistan.

As per Gillani and Gallop Survey, 59 percent people have shown trust upon NAB. NAB was the focal institution of Pakistan under United Nations Convention against Corruption.

The convention was ratified by Pakistan in the past as it was a pride for Pakistan due to NAB's efforts.

He said Pakistan was the only country in the world which has signed Memorandum of Understanding with China to oversee China Pakistan Economic Corridor projects as well as to enhance cooperation for eradicating corruption.

He directed all NAB officers to double their efforts in nabbing corrupt elements and recovery of hard earned looted money of the innocent citizens of Pakistan so that the country should be on the track of prosperity and development .

He said that NAB has introduced a new concept of a "Combined Investigation Team" where two investigation officers and a legal consultant, financial expert, forensic expert under the supervision of Additional Director/Case officer and concerned Director are working as a team for a fair and transparent inquiries and investigations as per law, so that the quality of inquiries and investigation of NAB must be improved in all aspects further due to collective wisdom as well as establishment of NAB's first Forensic Science Lab which has all facilities of Digital Forensics, Questioned Documents and Fingerprint Analysis etc.
