Muaqam welcomes NAB proceedings against him

PESHAWAR: Adviser to Prime Minister Amir Muqam Thursday welcomed opening of NAB cases against him and assured to provide full cooperation in due course of time to anti corruption watchdog.

In a statement issued here, he said that this was not something new for him and recalled that in 1999 when he stepped into politics he faced the same investigations when NAB was newly formed.

He said he was also grilled by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ehtesab Commission headed by the then DG Gen (R) Hamid Khan in 2014-15 but nothing proved against him in the cases they investigated.

Muqam said that he was proud to have extended all generosities to the people instead of seeking anything from masses. He said he believed his sole purpose of doing politics was to serve masses and due to the reason he remained federal minister for once, Minister of state twice and now serving as advisor to Prime Minister.

Muqam clarified that he remained associated with construction business and completed all projects with the due standard and added that his construction firm was being run by his sons from 1989 and still the firms was having projects worth Rs 10 billion.
