PTI foreign funding report should be made public: ECP

Islamabad, Jan 18 (UNI) The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) directed the authorities on Tuesday to ensure that the entire report of the scrutiny committee constituted to audit the foreign funds of the ruling PTI is made public.
This after it emerged that the report did not not include eight volumes of the documents and bank statements requisitioned through the State Bank of Pakistan, which included all original 28 bank statements and year-wise details of foreign funds transferred to the PTI’s accounts between 2009-13, which was earlier concealed by the committee.
But during Tuesday's hearing Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja directed that no part of the report should be kept confidential and the entire report be provided to the petitioner, who happens to be PTI founding member Akbar S Babar, after the latter's counsel pointed out that some segments of the report had been kept secret and his client had been denied access to them.
