Islamabad: Zahir Shah, the deputy chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), has been appointed as the acting chairman of the anti-graft body, media reports said on Saturday.

According to a notification issued on Friday, Zahir Shah will continue as chief of the anti-corruption agency until the next chairman is appointed.

“In pursuance of the proviso to Section 6(b)(v) of amended NAO 1999, Mr Zahir Shah, shall act as Chairman, National Accountability Bureau, with effect from 22-02-2023 and till the appointment of new chairman, under the ordinance,” stated the notification issued by Additional Director NAB Syed Izhar Shah.

Zahir, who has been acting as NAB deputy chairman, is already looking after the anti-corruption agency since Aftab Sultan tendered his resignation from his office as the bureau’s chairman.

The newly appointed acting chairman has been working with the body for more than a decade and had already held several positions in the organisation, including the coveted post of Director General NAB Rawalpindi.

In October 2021, he was appointed deputy chairman of the NAB, a position in which he oversaw the organisation’s administration.
