ACC to monitor graft in relief distribution

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in a statement today said it will bring the culprits involved in the misappropriation of government relief meant for needy of the country to book.

"We have learned through media and ACC's own intelligence that some people are involved in irregularities and graft in distributing relief under the government's social safety net programme in this critical period," ACC said in the statement.

The Commission has decided that its officials will closely monitor the relief distribution activities in coordination with deputy commissioners of each district.

"If anyone is found to have amassed wealth illegally through misappropriation of relief, stern legal action will be taken against them," it stated.

ACC Chairman Iqbal Mahmood said they have already given instruction to their officials in this regard.

The top ACC official said they will not spare any corruptors in connection with relief misappropriation.
