Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) Chairman Iqbal Mahmood. FILE PHOTOThe Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has warned the prospective candidates of the Dec 30 election on providing false information in wealth statement while filing nomination.
“The election is not our concern ... Rather, we will see whether the candidates are providing accurate information in their wealth statement filed with the election officials,” ACC Chairman Iqbal Mahmood told a media briefing on Monday (Nov 19).
The graft watchdog boss says he believes people will elect no self-proclaimed corrupts saying, “If convicted criminals take part in the polls, the Election Commission will take action.
“The ACC will make no spontaneous request to EC to act against any candidate,” said Mahmood.
