The acting president’s order mentioned that the previous order was hereby repealed.
The development came on the heels of a sitting of the upper house of parliament during which legislation proposing an increase in the perks and privileges of senators, including the Senate chairman and deputy chairman, was met with criticism.

After assuming additional responsibilities after President Alvi de- parted for Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj, acting president Sanjrani introduced and amended various legislations.
These included an amendment to an ordinance that governs the country’s top graft buster, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

Replacing the National Accountability Ordinance of 1999, the recently passed National Accountability (Amendment) Ordinance 2023 gives unprecedented powers to the electoral body’s chairman, allowing him to issue arrest warrants for individuals who refused to cooperate in investigations.

Under the amended NAB law, arrested suspects could now be held in custody for up to 30 days, a significant increase from the previous 14-day limit.
