The PTI government has decided to issue an ordinance to extend the four-year term of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman retired Justice Javed Iqbal.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has instructed the Law Minister Farogh Naseem to prepare a draft of the presidential ordinance, SAMAA TV reported on Thursday.
The prime minister has been advised to give a temporary extension to the NAB Chairman, it said.
Justice Javed Iqbal would continue to serve as the chairman until a new NAB head is appointed after consultation with the opposition leader in the National Assembly, the TV said.
At the moment, consultation with the opposition leader is not possible, the prime minister was quoted as saying.
NAB Chairman retired Justice Javed Iqbal’s term ends on October 8.
