Panama TORs

The joint parliamentary committee for investigating foul play by Pakistanis disclosed by the Panama papers has started its deliberations. There are already a number of draft TORs for the proposed judicial commission on the table, prepared by apparently the best brains in the country. However, I have a few humble submissions for the consideration of the committee:

        1.  The order of investigation should from the most significant person to the least significant.

        2. The commission should indict and punish those whose crimes are obvious and examine if other concerned persons are likely to have been involved in fraud, perjury, money laundering, tax evasion, misrepresentation etc. and accordingly instruct the relevant offices such as NAB, Election Commission, FIA etc. to take necessary action which should be monitored and completed in a short time.

      3. If the investigations indicate a deceased person to having been guilty of financial crime or misdemeanor, then his or her heirs should be asked to reimburse any such funds or relinquish inherited property, local or foreign, acquired by the deceased in unlawful manner or in defiance of national interest.
