On the other hand, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had formed a high-level investigation committee while taking notice of the reinstatement of 12 officers removed from LESCO on corruption charges, which includes former Secretary Power Shahid Khan, current Secretary Energy, IB, and representatives of the LESCO board.

According to sources, the committee will submit its final report to the Prime Minister by January 10. There are allegations of reinstatement of officers and illegal connections by taking money from the LESCO management, while the company’s officers are also accused of corruption in relation to the purchase of equipment from an international company.

In another important development, NAB Lahore has completed its investigation into the issue of overbilling of crores of rupees in LESCO, and this report will be submitted to the NAB chairman.

According to NAB sources, additional bills of crores of rupees were given to consumers in 2024, for which the Chief Executive LESCO and other officers have been held responsible.

LESCO officials say that all data related to overbilling has been provided to NAB and no delay was made. The officers appeared at every opportunity and fully cooperated with NAB’s request.
