NAB (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 allows Javed Iqbal to remain NAB chairman until new appointment
Islamabad: President Arif Alvi on Wednesday promulgated the National Accountability (Amendment) Ordinance, 2021 that has allowed NAB Chairman retired Justice Javed Iqbal to continue to serve the post until the appointment of new chairman.
The new NAB chief will be appointed for a period of four years and his term may be extended, as per the amended ordinance.
The method followed for the appointment of the NAB chairman will be the one employed while granting an extension.
The ordinance states that the president will appoint the NAB chairman in consultation with the prime minister and the Opposition leader.
In case of a failure to reach a consensus on the appointment, the matter will be sent to a 12-member parliamentary committee formed especially for the matter of the appointment.
Under the new ordinance, the president has the authority to establish as many accountability courts in the country, as he deems fit.
Judges to the accountability courts will be appointed for a three-year term, the ordinance states.
