United Group of ICCI on Sunday asked the authorities to take notice of illegal activities in the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and streamline matters.
The ICCI has become a family business for a group calling the shots since decades and almost all the presidents and vice presidents are selected on their sweet will, said Habibullah Zahid, Chairman of ICCI United Group.
Speaking to the business community, he said that the financial mismanagement has reached to gigantic proportions therefore the accounts of the last ten years should be audited.
The group having control of ICCI mercilessly waste resources on buying loyalties to ensure their control while half a million are collected from every person travelling abroad as a member of a delegation but this amount is not reflected in accounts.
Many people went abroad with the help of ICCI and never returned which amounts to human smuggling, he said, adding that display centre of ICCI is being used for commercial purpose while CDA has turned a blind eye to it.
Zahid said that bogus membership and favouritism rules in the ICCI as near and dear one are drawing salaries beyond their abilities while they are also kept happy by giving them million in advance which is illegal.
Shahid Zaman Shinwari, Malik Nadeem, Sarfaraz Mughal, Zahid Qureshi and others also spoke on the occasion and asked the DGTO to take action against the black sheep.
