Federal Law Minister Farogh Naseem on Friday dismissed reports that his ministry has drafted an ordinance to extend Justice (Retd) Javed Iqbal’s tenure as the NAB chief.
Talking to journalists, the law minister Farogh Naseem said the issue of the possible extension of the incumbent NAB chairman’s tenure has come up in meetings with Prime Minister Imran Khan four to five times.
The situation will become clear next week, he hoped and adding it is the prime minister’s prerogative to pick a person for the post of the head of the corruption watchdog and that he could only give his advice on the issue. —INP
