The Punjab Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has launched an investigation into corruption cases dating back to the PTI government era, shifting 18 financial misconduct cases from 2019 to the Anti-Corruption Department.

 

According to details, PAC Punjab has assigned the probe into financial irregularities within the Dera Ghazi Khan and Faisalabad DHOs to the Director General of Anti-Corruption. Additionally, PAC-III has sought assistance from the Chief Minister’s Inspection Team to ensure a comprehensive investigation.

The committee has also requested records related to the Usman Buzdar administration, particularly from the health department and other sectors. Officials failing to submit the required documents may face strict legal action, PAC Punjab warned.

It is worth noting that two weeks ago, a PAC Punjab investigative report exposed misuse of government funds in public schools in Dera Ghazi Khan. The report highlighted unauthorised expenditures on school infrastructure and furniture, revealing that in 2020-21, the District Education Authority spent Rs. 99 million, yet no verification of these purchases could be confirmed.
