White Lies

It seems that our prison reform programme is working miracles. A former boss of Islamic Investment Bank who served time, thanks to such irregularities such as the manner in which the Supreme Court account was acquired, he has now re-emerged as a born again banker with his professional abilities greatly enhanced. They say, friends in Islamabad are so impressed with this reincarnation that they actually offered him the ambassadorship to China. He declined the offer, letting it be known that he wants to remain in the money circles and that he would be satisfied with nothing less than the top job at the largest bank. We hear that he has been advised to wait till the Supreme Court proceedings reach a satisfactory conclusion and then indeed he would be the man to head NBP.
