July 12, 2021
ISLAMABAD: The petitioner of the long pending PTI foreign funding case will make public the fact finding (perusal) of PTI accounts on July 13 here, which has been prepared by two financial experts, employed on the direction of the Election Commission of Pakistan.
The electoral body had given this direction in its order issued on April 14. On the contrary to the petitioner, PTI had decided not to appoint financial experts. The perusal witnessed a number of alleged hiccups.
The report will be unveiled here at a local hotel and the petitioner Akbar S Babar alongside his team of lawyers, led by Syed Ahmad Hassan Shah, assisted by Badar Iqbal Chaudhry, will brief the media on the findings of the exercise.
ISLAMABAD: In a surprising move, the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) that had last week hailed the decision of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to allow its founding and disgruntled member Akbar S. Babar to get assistance of financial experts for perusal of all financial documents pertaining to the party’s foreign funding has now decided to challenge it.
A team of the ruling PTI led by their counsel Syed Khawar Shah on Monday presented before the ECP an “application for partial review” of its order dated April 14, 2021 questioning the proposal of associating “Chartered Accountant or Financial Expert during Scrutiny Process”.

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) Scrutiny Committee, constituted in March 2018 to scrutinise the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) accounts within a month, met on Thursday for the first time after the ECP reserved its judgement on a complaint challenging the panel’s decision to keep the party’s financial documents secret.
The ECP reserved its order on April 6 and is expected to announce it within the next few days. The order is expected to have a major impact on the scrutiny process and the course of the PTI’s foreign funding case pending before the commission since November 2014.
