Provincial Minister for Industries and Commerce, Anti-corruption Establishment and Co-operatives Ikramullah Dharejo has said he was trying to bring reforms in the anti-corruption department.“There is no secret wing in anti-corruption department.” “I am trying to set up a directorate in each division. The Sindh government owns land worth billions of rupees in Karachi .People have created fake housing schemes. He said for the training of our inquiry officers, the Chief Minister has been asked to get them training from NAB and FIA. The minister said that ever since anti-corruption was introduced, efforts have been made to bring reforms in the department, adding the anti-corruption law is old, a lot of things have to be included in the law. But he regretted that whatever the case, there is no mechanism to recover money from white collar criminals,quoting food department officials were caught, cases were made but there was no mechanism to collect billions from them. He said he cases were later referred to the NAB. We don’t have an intelligence wing trying to set it up. “Attempts are being made to establish more directorates. The biggest task of anti-corruption is to catch land fraud. Despite this, the land worth trillions of rupees is in the possession of the people. DCs have also been asked to take back the land whose lease has expired,” the minister concluded.
