ISLAMABAD: A convocation ceremony of newly inducted 268 National Accountability Bureau (NAB) investigators has been organized here at Aiwan-e-Sadar, Islamabad, tomorrow October 4, 2013, Friday. Mr. Mamnoon Hussain, President of Pakistan, has very kindly consented to grace the occasion and to award certificates to the position holders of the investigators’ course.
The remaining officers will be awarded their certificates in a subsequent ceremony upon graduation. Dy Chairman NAB, Rear Admiral Saeed Ahmad Sargana has expressed the hope that this infusion of fresh blood will go a long way in furthering the efforts of NAB to eradicate corruption in the society.
To overcome the acute shortage of trained manpower for investigating white collar crimes in a professional manner, NAB inducted 268 officers, after a transparent selection process in 2012. National Testing Service (NTS) conducted the entrance test of more than 65000 candidates. Out of 350 vacancies, 268 officers were recruited and have undergone seven month training which is due to complete on 11th October 2013.
During their seven months training period they were provided training under the best instructors available among our domestic institutions/agencies, supplemented by experts from overseas. Their training included analyses of case studies of successful and unsuccessful court cases giving reasons for success or failure. They were given opportunities to investigate, collect evidence, and even conduct mock trials to hone their expertise during real time activities.
At the conclusion of their training they were subjected to comprehensive tests to assess their capabilities. These tests included all that they have been trained for including research and report writing.
Their training also included an effort to cultivate in them a strong character and principles of humanity and ethical values, so as to ensure their dedication to eradication of corruption.
