the rumor yesterday was that it would be Asif taya abu.
The guy they caught will get bail after the remand is over I guess.
Judiciary on provincial level is still corrupt.
As for Mr Zardari, u gotta hand it to him. The fucker has the luck of an Irish.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Karachi on Wednesday arrested Speaker Sindh Assembly Agha Siraj Durrani from a hotel in Islamabad, DawnNewsTV reported citing officials from within the bureau.

According to NAB officials, Durrani faces an inquiry for accumulating assets beyond his known sources of income as well as allegations that he had embezzled with public funds.

NAB officials told DawnNewsTV that the bureau waited for Durrani to leave Sindh before making the arrest as Durrani is escorted by his sizable security team in his home province.

The officials further said that the reason NAB arrests personnel who hold important offices is because they otherwise use their position to influence government officers.

NAB Karachi had collaborated with NAB Rawalpindi and the intelligence wing of NAB headquarter to ensure Durrani's arrest.

The detained Sindh Assembly speaker will be produced in court tomorrow (Thursday) to secure his remand, a press release issued by NAB said.

PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari is expected to hold a press conference in Islamabad at 3pm, and has asked his fellow PPP leaders to converge in the capital.

Last year in July, NAB had approved an inquiry against Durrani over various allegations of corruption.

NAB’s regional board had sanctioned three separate inquiries against the PPP leader: the first inquiry pertains to an allegation of accumulation of assets beyond known sources of income by Durrani; the second relates to 352 illegal appointments made by him; and the third pertains to embezzlement of funds for the construction of the MPA Hostel and construction of the new Sindh Assembly building, as well as in the appointment of project directors for the said projects.
