PTI-Led KP Government Under Scrutiny as NAB Probes Mega City Scandal

Pakistan's National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is investigating Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Housing Minister Dr. Amjad Ali for alleged assets beyond known income and irregularities within the province's housing authority, specifically targeting the multi-billion-rupee Mega City Nowshera project. A major concern is the project's land, reportedly along the Kabul River, for which the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Housing Authority allegedly lacks transfer documents or possession records. NAB has requested extensive documentation on land acquisition, financial arrangements, and a joint venture with Leaf Private Limited, including specific agreements signed in February 2022. The inquiry also covers property transactions involving Dr. Amjad Ali and his family, with investigators seeking records from various government departments and former housing authority officials. The allegations against Dr. Amjad Ali and the project remain unproven, and the investigation is ongoing, raising significant questions about government transparency and land ownership in large-scale public developments.
