KARACHI:
The Sindh Cabinet has unanimously approved repealing of the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO) 1999 to the extent of its applicability to the province of Sindh and decided to introduce the proposed amendment in the provincial assembly for approval.
The decision was taken during a meeting held under the chairmanship of Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah at the CM House on Friday. Provincial ministers, chief secretary Rizwan Memon, advisers and special assistants to the chief minister and secretaries attended the meeting.
The cabinet discussed anti-corruption laws, ban on sugar mills, K-IV water supply project and resolution passed by provincial assembly regarding load shedding.
Anti-corruption laws
The cabinet was informed that the NAO, 1999 was enacted in pursuance of the proclamation of emergency of October 14, 1999 and Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) of October 1999 was also made applicable to the provinces and was subsequently included in schedule VI of the Constitution along with Local Government Ordinance (LGO) 2001 and Police Order 2002 in order to prevent the provinces from repealing or amending the laws.
The cabinet was told that the proclamation of emergency of October 14, 1999 and PCO were declared without lawful authority by parliament and schedule VI of the Constitution was omitted under the 18th Constitutional Amendment.
NAB’s performance irks SHC
The meeting was informed that the federation legislated on three subjects – local government; police order; and measures to combat corruption and offences with respect to provincial subjects – under an unlawful emergency and the provinces have already repealed or amended the LGO 2001 and the Police Order 2002.
In light of the briefing given to the cabinet by Law Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar and Advocate General Zamir Ghumro, it was unanimously decided to repeal the NAO 1999 and present the draft bill in the assembly.
