• Decision taken unanimously by Senate Standing Committee on EAD • Division says it cannot directly order FIA, NAB inquiry into another ministry’s projects • Senators criticise EAD letter questioning committee’s jurisdiction ISLAMABAD: The Senate Standing Committee on Economic Affairs Division on Thursday decided to brief the prime minister on irregularities and alleged corruption in foreign-funded projects in the power sector and directly ask the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for detailed investigations. The decision was taken unanimously by the committee, presided over by Senator Saifullah Abro, after the Economic Affairs Division apparently expressed its inability to order an inquiry into projects of another ministry. Senator Kamran Murtaza expressed displeasure that an EAD section officer had written a letter stating that the matter did not fall within the committee’s jurisdiction.
