Ministry of Maritime Affairs has decided to conduct a fresh audit of KPT through a reputed firm.
The move may lead to the removal of KPT chairman, if any irregularities are found in the fresh audit.
The government has also decided that the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP) will conduct a special audit of KPT stores, hospitals and investments made over the past five years.
Earlier, the government had removed KPT chairman Jamil Akhtar from office in March this year. However, the former rear admiral later moved the Islamabad High Court (IHC), which suspended the order terminating Akhtar’s services.
