‘Transparency International shows unimaginable corruption in PTI govt’
Pakistan slipped from 117th to 140th number under PTI rule which was unprecedented plummet of 23 points on corruption
Islamabad: Former prime minister and PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said that the latest report of Transparency International has shown the unimaginable corruption in this PTI-led government.
Addressing a press conference flanked by PMLN leaders, Khaqan Abbasi said Imran Khan is actually the most corrupt prime minister in the history of Pakistan. “Pakistan slipped from 117th to 140th number under the PTI rule which was an unprecedented plummet of 23 points on corruption. Over just the past year, the country fell 16 points from 124 to 140 which was another record drop of 16 points in 12 months,” he added.
The PML-N senior leaders pointed out that according to the report 80 per cent of this corruption was in federal government, KPK government and Punjab government, all three of which were under PTI rule. “In addition to this, Pakistan was ranked152nd in a list of 180 nations regarding corruption in government spending and government development projects. This means that only 28 countries of the world are more corrupt than Imran-ruled Pakistan.”
He said the entire sham of accountability created by this government was exposed first by the courts’ of Pakistan who categorically said that it was an instrument of political engineering and now the same had been confirmed by the Transparency International.
“Transparency International report clearly pointed out that the current state of rampant corruption in Pakistan was majorly because of the PTI government and the manner in which they ruled,” he further maintained.
