The National Highway Authority (NHA), in response to media reports regarding inquiry by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) about alleged irregularities in award of contracts for Peshawar-Karachi Motorway (PKM) project has maintained that complete cooperation will be extended to facilitate the subject inquiry.
The allegations of 'irregularities' are based on misunderstanding and disinformation. NHA has clarified them before and is ready to address the same again on any forum, said a press release. Being the custodian of over 12,000 km network of highways and motorways, NHA has always taken this responsibility as a trust reposed by the nation and endeavored to maintain highest standards of fairness and accountability in the discharge of its work.
Projects worth over Rs 1400 billion are currently under execution in all parts of the country whereby adherence to rules and transparency remain the very foundation of this unprecedented road development activity.-PR
