NAWAZ SHARIF’S CORRUPTION

NAWAZ SHARIF’S CORRUPTION

1. 1. CORRUPTION CASES

Unknown-7Nawaz Sharif and his cronies have always been working to plunder Pakistan’s wealth as their sole agenda. He expanded his business empire by misusing his authority as Chief Minister Punjab and Prime Minister Pakistan. And in order to gain financial benefits, he manipulated laws and changed policies. Likewise, in a bid to avoid accountability, the Nawaz Sharif Government amended “The Ehtasaab Act” and made it effective from “1990” instead of “1985” as proposed in the original text of the “Ehtasaab Act” prepared by the interim government of caretaker Prime Minister (Late) Mairaj Khalid (1996-97). And by bringing this change he cunningly saved his tenure of Chief Minister Punjab (1985-88) from accountability.

Without the consent of account holders, Foreign Exchange Bearer Certificates (FEBC) accounts were frozen and foreign exchange was misappropriated.

5.  Illegal appointments in Pakistan International Airlines (Nawaz Sharif and Saeed Mehdi).

WHO IS TAPI, ZARDARI BROTHER ,PPP Worker COMMENTS

Owais Muzzaffar Tappi is responsible for Lyari Operation?

by  on May 1, 2012 in Current Affairs

As siege of Lyari enters 5th day, the question persist that who is really responsible for Lyari Operation? Who sent the ill equipped Police force in, rather than ordering the resourceful Rangers to do the task?

Those who know the who’s who of Pakistan’s politics, are aware of the director of this show of brute force. The person, responsible for Lyari Operation, is known as Owais Tappi.

Owais Muzzaffar Tappi

Who is Owais Muzzaffar Tappi

Ansar Abbasi wrote on Dec 31, 2010, that Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah has been virtually suspended by the de facto ruler of the province Mr Tappi, who just recently got his own man appointed as principal secretary of the CM, taking over even the little clout that was left with the aging PPP leader.

Mr Tappi, whose real name is Owais Muzzaffar, once a mid career civil servant long time confidante of President Asif Ali Zardari, who treats Tappi as his step-brother.

The report by Ansar Abbasi highlights how Sindh CM was over-ruled by the group of Zardari-ans, Faryal Talpur, Zulfiqar Mirza, Agha Siraj Durrani and Owais Tappi. Apparently Tappi got rid of Mirza and Durrani and his now only second to Adhi Faryal.

As per Abbasi (and that was in December 2010), Tappi is not alone in running his fiefdom called the Sindh Province, these sources said and add that he is very ably assisted by a highly controversial aging bureaucrat of all seasons from Islamabad.

Over 70 bureaucrat, the sources said, has been visiting Sindh and holding meetings with the chief secretary as well as ministers and secretaries taking briefings, issuing instructions and reinforcing the writ of the president’s adopted step-brother. The officials are very clearly told to get major decisions from Mr Tappi and not to take instructions from the chief minister.

So, Owais Muzzaffar Tappi is the de-facto Chief Minister of Sindh, running the affairs of state from Bilawal House.

Owais Muzzaffar, aka Tappi is the adpoted son of Hakim Ali Zardari and the step brother of Pakistan’s President Zardari. Tappi is the alleged land grabber and extortionist.

 

 

 

 

Tappi, the name that may sound strange to ordinary souls but not to those occupying key positions in the Sindh regime or are knowledgeable in the business circles in Karachi, Islamabad and Dubai, In the days when president’s father was running Bambino Cinema in Karachi and the family lived in the upper storey of the cinema building, one Muzaffar worked as manager of the cinema as well as the caretaker of the house, a source said, adding that one of his sons Owais frequented the house and was taken as a member of the family.

In 1995, he was appointed as an DDO (Revenue) in PCS by then chief minister without any exam by the Sindh Public Service Commission.

Tappi went into exile in Musharraf regime and stayed with Benazir in Dubai becoming a caretaker for the Bilawal House in Dubai.

Zafar Baloch PAC Lyari KarachiBut why he went against the Baloch of Aman Committee who were armed and raised against MQM by PPP itself?

The answer lies in a response by Zafar Baloch – that Tappi got irked when he was discourage to contest elections from Lyari.

Zafar Baloch, leader of PAC, says a lot in this video – including who gave weapons to the Balochs of Lyari and why – and what is the real reason of Lyari Operation.

This reveals another sorry page from our history – where people in power use the common men for their nefarious plans and then discard and disown them like trash.

Forex Research – Daily US Dollar Report : Dollar 2.5 billion siphoned off from Pakistan in a decade

Dollar 2.5 billion siphoned off from Pakistan in a decade

Forex Research – Daily US Dollar Report


Crime, corruption and tax evasion have cost the developing world nearly $6 trillion over the past decade, a financial watchdog said in a new report. Mentioning Pakistan, it said $2.5 billion was siphoned out of the country from 2003 to 2010.

Giving breakdown, it said $44 million was illegally transferred abroad in 2003, $202 million in 2005, $505 million in 2007, $728 million in 2008, $298 million in 2009 and $729 million in 2010.

Total illicit outflows increased by 11 percent from the prior year, Global Financial Integrity (GFI), a Washington-based group that campaigns for financial accountability, said in its latest report released on Monday.

“Astronomical sums of dirty money continue to flow out of the developing world and into offshore tax havens and developed country banks,” said Raymond Baker, the GFI director.“Developing countries are hemorrhaging more and more money at a time when rich and poor nations alike are struggling to spur economic growth. This report should be a wake-up call to world leaders that more must be done to address these harmful outflows,”he said.

Unknown-10All the countries in the top 10, which this year saw India, Nigeria, the Philippines and Nigeria join the ranks, face significant problems with corruption, and in most there are vast gaps between rich and poor citizens as well as internal security problems.

The report said that more donors have frozen aid to Uganda over corruption.Leaders of the Group of 20 major economies are focusing on ways to crack down on money laundering, bank secrecy and tax loopholes to prevent funds stolen from public coffers or earned through criminal activity from depleting the budgets of developing countries.

The sums are so huge that for every dollar in foreign direct aid, $10 leaves developing countries. The report said the 10 countries with the highest measured illicit money outflows between 2001 and 2010 were, in order: China ($2.74 trillion), Mexico ($476 billion), Malaysia ($285 billion), Saudi Arabia ($210 billion), Russia ($152 billion), Philippines ($138 billion), Ngeria ($129 billion), India ($123 billion), Indonesia ($109 billion), UAE ($107 billion), Iraq ($63.6 billion), South Africa ($83.9 billion), Thailand ($64.3 billion), Costa Rice ($63.7 billion), and Qatar ($56.1 billion).
