LAHORE: Principal Secretary of Prime Minister, Fawad Hassan Fawad has appeared before National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore on Friday Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing Scheme corruption case of the provincial government.
Earlier, on Thursday Fawad had been summoned by NAB for his alleged role in illegally awarding the contract for the Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing Scheme.
NAB team questioned the senior bureaucrat in the mega corruption case.
NAB claimed that the contract for the project was won by a construction company titled Chaudhry Latif and Sons but CM Punjab and his aides awarded it instead to Lahore Casa Developers, a proxy group of Paragon City (Pvt) Limited, which is said to be owned by Railways Minister Saad Rafique.
Fawad, who was a senior bureaucrat in the Punjab government at the time, leveled charges of wrongdoings against Chaudhry Latif and Sons in order for the contract to be awarded to Casa Developers.
