Pakistani Anti-Corruption Officer Sentenced to 12 Years for Corruption

Corruption is widely recognized as a barrier to national development, prompting the establishment of various regulatory bodies and legal frameworks worldwide to curb its impact.

In Pakistan, efforts to eradicate corruption have created several institutions despite ongoing promises from major political parties. Nonetheless, reports about anti-corruption officials’ involvement in corrupt practices continue to emerge.

A notable case recently emerged from the Sahiwal region, where an officer from the Anti-Corruption Department was implicated in corrupt activities. The court sentenced the former Assistant Director Technical of Anti-Corruption to 12 years imprisonment and fined him PKR 200,000 after he was found guilty.

The officer, Muhammad Faheem Hanif, was initially charged in 2019. The charges accused him of abusing his official powers by altering road samples and embezzling funds from government projects. His conviction underscores ongoing challenges within the systems intended to fight corruption in Pakistan.

In addition to his prison sentence, the court has mandated an additional six months of incarceration for Hanif if he fails to pay the imposed fine. This case was highlighted earlier in the month when Farhat Junejo, the former Chairman of Anti-Corruption, disclosed in a letter to Muhammad Bakhsh Mehr, the Provincial Minister for Anti-Corruption, that corruption envelopes were being distributed, implicating systemic corruption facilitated by collusion between private individuals and high-ranking officials within the Anti-Corruption Directorate.
