NAB will investigate the amount of PKR 300 billion that was to be used for development projects in Karachi. “Despite the allocated of this huge amount for development in the city, the metropolis’s problems stand as it is. If this amount was spent on the development of the city then what projects were the money spent on and whether the projects were completed or not,” the statement added.
