The reference said that NAB chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry has failed to perform his duties in an effective manner and the Panamagate verdict has proved it by ordering a formation of joint investigation team (JIT). It had also been claimed in the reference that the NAB chairman has been incapable to head an anti-corruption watchdog.
