The Balochistan government has decided to amend the Anti-corruption and Inquiry Establishment Bill to make the institution more effective through legislation for initiating probe against officials and other people involved in corruption in the province.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Anti-Corruption Department, Balochistan, here on Thursday. Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani presided over the meeting which was also attended by Director General of the Anti-Corruption Department Zeeshan Lehri and other senior officials.
Mr Lehri briefed the meeting on the performance of his department and progress on different corruption cases under investigation in the department.
A bill will be moved in the Balochistan Assembly after approval of the amended draft for legislation.
The chief minister told the meeting that a committee should be formed which would recommend registration of FIRs after reviewing evidence of corruption against any person.
“There is dire need of reforms in the anti-corruption institutions for making them more effective,” Mr Alyani said.
