Major (R) Chaudhry Qamar Zaman is the former Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) of Pakistan. NAB, the country’s top anti-graft watchdog, has almost become dysfunctional after the Supreme Court dismissed the then NAB chairman Fasih Bokhari through its 28 May judgment. Qamar Zaman has held several key posts in his career. Qamar Zaman was criticized in the local media after Supreme Court ordered an investigation of Qamar for his alleged involvement in a major corruption scandal. However, an internal inquiry carried out by his own agency did not lead to any formal charges against him in a court of law.
