During a meeting with NAB Chairman Lt. Gen (R) Nazir Ahmed Butt at the Parliament House, the Speaker praised NAB’s transformation into a fair, efficient, apolitical, and credible institution.

He appreciated the agency’s austerity measures, complete digitalization through AI-driven systems, and the establishment of Special Accountability Facilitation Desks across all provinces to support a business-friendly environment.
Ayaz Sadiq lauded NAB’s efforts to streamline its complaint handling process, modernize its investigation regime, and contribute positively to the country’s economic stability.
Nazir Ahmed thanked the National Assembly Speaker for his encouraging remarks and reaffirmed his commitment to transforming NAB into a model anti-corruption body.
