Re: Should NAB be abolished?
Shamraz, the Prime Minister has only annouced his intention to abolish NAB, but he certainly cannot do that without the specific written approval of the President beforehand.
You see NAB, like the Local Govt system, Election laws (i.e. 3rd time bar on PM, Graduation clause etc), along with a raft of other laws are protected under Schedule 6 of the Constitution. Technically speaking no parliament can amend these laws (even with a 2/3 majority), until they receive prior approval from the President.
“Laws not to be Altered, Repealed or Amended without the Previous Sanction of the President.”

So announcing your intention is one thing, actual implementation is quite another.
