According to a statement issued by the NAB, the Executive Board Meeting (EBM), chaired by NAB Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal, approved the three inquiries. Details of the inquiries against Kiyani and the officials of the PCAA and CDA were not mentioned in the press statement; however, the one against Dr Mirza was made on the basis of complaints filed against him. The notification mentioned that the purpose of providing details from the NAB’s executive meeting is not to hurt anyone but that all of the inquiries are initiated on the basis of allegations.
