KPOGCL chief accused of corruption by CFO

PESHAWAR: Two senior officials of the KP Oil and Gas Company have resigned after reports of corruption in the organisation.

The provincial-government owned company's chief financial officer has blamed the company's chief executive officer of corruption and embezzlement. 

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Senator Noman Wazir, who is heading a committee investigating the corruption, said their inquiry is ongoing and as of now there are no results. 

In a letter to the chairman of the board, the CFO says the CEO has not conducted any new exploration of oil and gas in the province and is instead using exploration of other companies by showing it as his own initiatives. 

Moreover, the letter claims there is serious mismanagement in the company's human resources section as well as embezzlement in the purchase of cars. 

The officers who have resigned are the board chairman Tariq Iqbal and technical committee chairman Khursheed Anwar.
