Najam Sethi likely to face removal, probe over alleged irregularities

[Strike!]

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – A report revealing alleged financial and administration irregularities of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi has been submitted to PM-designate Imran Khan, sources told Dunya News.

As per details garnered, PCB chairman had appointed friends and closed family members on high-level posts. Naila Bhatti was awarded director post just after three month of her appointment. Likewise, Aun Zaidi was promoted to assistant manager of PCB’s social media wing.

Sources privy to PTI told our correspondent that PM-in-waiting will not only force Sethi to relinquish but would also initiate probe into mammoth irregularities.

Sources added that Khan will also direct Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to take probe of pending cases against Sethi to their logical end.

Ever since victory of cricketer-turned-politician in general elections, air is thick with rumors that Khan is mulling over removing incumbent PCB chairman from his post. The likely successor of Sethi will be Wasim Akram.

In spite of all this, some still want to see him resume as chairman. Another corrupt Pakistani with a shady past, so it's time for change.

 

[Pakistanian]

He should stay away from cricket.

What did Justice Qayyum's report on match fixing say about Wasim Akram? I believe Imran Khan also testified that Ata ur Rehman had told him of Akram’s approaches. Not sure why he would appoint him PCB chairman, for his political foes are certain to dig out the old skeletons against Akram and use it to malign his squeaky clean image. The standards set by PTI cannot be compromised.

I would rather go with someone like Mudassar. Imran always valued his advise on the field when Mudassar played under him.

 

[Asim_khan]

If what's said in the reports is true he needs getting rid of.

I'd appoint Ehsan Mani.

 

[classic]

Zaheer Abbas would be my choice. He is world class player respected by all and has served as ICC chairman I believe therefore has good administrative experience.

 

[Sherlock]

Sethi and "irregularities?"

Well I never...

 

[Savak]

He shouldn't be removed on technicality, if financial corruption charges are true then that is a different matter. But inspite of all these allegations he has been the most successful PCB Chairman's in comparison to his predecessors.

 

[InziRules]

Those on Sethi's "payroll" will call this victimization

 

[Fahdi]

He shouldn't meddle in the PCB directly. If financial corruption has taken place just let NAB handle it.

Yeah by that logic let's also bring back Nawaz Sharif because kuch khata hai tou lagata bhi hai

 

[PakLFC]

I think Pakistan will become Probeistan under Imran Khan!!))

 

[Pakpak]

Yeah by that logic let's also bring back Nawaz Sharif because kuch khata hai tou lagata bhi hai

This. A monkey could have done a better job than Sethi's predecessors.

 

[Savak]

Yeah by that logic let's also bring back Nawaz Sharif because kuch khata hai tou lagata bhi hai

Khan himself admitted he had no evidence behind Sethi's 35 punctures claim. Let's see if they can prove the corruption allegations against him

His time is up.He should step aside with any remaining dignity.
