ISLAMABAD: Otherwise toothless, the proposed National Accountability Commission (NAC) will enjoy absolute powers to appoint its each and every officer and staff member, discarding the credible and time-tested recruitment apparatus, the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC), which has been above controversies about the job it performs.


The NAC bill that is awaiting approval of Parliament introduces its own independent mechanism to pick up officers and staff members through two selection bodies, comprising its own officials.


It says members of the staff and officers of the NAC will be appointed on the recommendation of a selection board or a selection committee, who will be entitled to such salaries, allowances and other terms and conditions of service as the NAC may, with the approval of the President, determine.


The board will decide appointment of officers in grade 17 and above or equivalent. It will consist of the NAC chairman, deputy chairman and prosecutor general and the director general of the NAC Investigation Agency (NACIA), who will also act as its secretary.


The same board will pick up the NACIA chief. However, then a government officer of Grade 21 or equivalent to be nominated by NAC chairman will act as member of the board.


The proposed law provides for a selection committee for appointment of employees in Grade 1 to 16 as may be determined by NAC.


The selection of the employees in Grade 16 and above will be made on the basis of written test by an outside independent agency, and the viva voce conducted by the board or the committee, as the case may be.


The bill makes room for re-appointment of the incumbent or former chairmen or deputy chairmen or prosecutors general of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as the NAC chief, deputy or prosecutor respectively.


It says any person who has held the office of NAB chairman, deputy chairman or prosecutor general under the NAB law may be made chairman, deputy chairman or prosecutor general respectively, if they are duly qualified to be appointed under the new law.


The prosecutor general will advise the chairman in any matter pertaining to inquiry or investigation and prosecution and will be responsible for the control and supervision of the prosecutors and other law officers of NAC.


While the separate procedure for removal of the NAC chairman and deputy chairman is totally different from that of the superior court judges, the proposed law says that the chief will be entitled to the same salary and privileges as a Supreme Court judge and his deputy to same salary and privileges as a high court judge.


Whereas the overall NAC boss will be its chairman, who will have considerable powers, the deputy chairman will supervise the work of the NACIA director general.


The bill also provides for stopgap appointment of acting chairman. At any time when the chairman is absent or his office is vacant or he is unable to perform the functions of his office due to any other cause, the deputy chairman will act in his place, and in case he is also absent or his office is vacant or he is unable to perform the functions of his office due to any other cause, the president may appoint any other person as acting chairman for a period not exceeding sixty days.


The proposed law calls for punishment of a person who is found to have lodged with the NAC a malicious complaint against anyone. It says if NAC is of the opinion that the complaint received by it was prima facie mala fide or frivolous or was filed with intent to malign or defame the holder of public office, it may, for reasons to be recorded in writing, refer the matter to the court. If the complainant is found guilty he will be punished for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.
