Islamabad: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and Chairman of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee Nadeem Afzal Chan on Thursday rejected the Transparency International annual report regarding corruption in Pakistan and said that the report was based on fake facts.
The Transparency International on Wednesday issued annual report over corruption in 2012, raising the Pakistan rank from 42 to 33.
The 2012 index ranks 176 countries by their perceived levels of public sector corruption. The index assigns scores of between one and 100, 1 being highly corrupt and 100 clean.
The global civil society organization has expressed concern over the growing corruption in the country saying that the corruption of Rs 12600 billion was reported in different sectors of Pakistan during the last five years.
While chairing the meeting of the committee in Islamabad, Chan said that he challenged Transparency International that the report was not prepared in the good faith.
“We have recovered millions of rupees from the people and still the state institutions are working hard to recover the money from the fraudulent people,” he said.
He further added that the situation was improving day by day in the country.
