National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman former Justice Javed Iqbal Friday approved a comprehensive quality grading system to review the annual performance of the bureau's officers and officials. Under this grading system, while evaluating the performance for the year 2017, the mistakes of the officers of regional bureaus and headquarters would be identified and strict disciplinary action would be taken against incompetent and negligent officers, a press release said.
He said NAB had set a period of ten months for completing the process for filing of complaints, verification, inquiry, investigation and then filing of reference and this time limit would be implemented.
Necessary instructions had been issued to all the regional bureaus about the grading system. With the consultation of regional bureaus and senior officers, a combined investigation system would be approved to ensure an effective operational mechanism. He said under the system, it is intended to benefit from the experience and collective wisdom of senior supervisory officers and further improve the quality of investigation and inquiries; adding nobody could affect the inquiries and investigation on a personal level.
