The Senate passed the National Accountability Amendment Bill, 2026.
It was moved by Mohammad Abdul Qadir.
Taking the floor, Leader of the House Ishaq Dar said the treasury benches supported the amendment bill, as prima facie it seeks to improve the existing legislation. He noted that the bill now provides two rights of appeal. He further emphasized that the courts are independent and that every matter should not be politicized.
