PESHAWAR: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has announced a ‘Khuli Kacheri’ aimed at fostering transparency, accountability, and public participation in the fight against corruption.

People from all walks of life have been invited to share their grievances, complaints, and concerns related to corruption, malpractices, and misuse of public resources.

NAB officers and officials will be present to listen to the public’s concerns, offer guidance on filing complaints, and provide information on the investigation and accountability process.
