PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat has claimed to have been nominated by PTI founder Imran Khan as the party’s candidate for the Public Accounts Committee chairman’s role.

“I am honestly at a loss for words and extremely humbled for the unflinching trust imposed in my person by the founding chairman of PTI Mr Imran Khan Niazi,” he said in a post on X.

He said he would ensure that every penny of public exchequer spent by the treasury benches is accounted for in the “true sense”, adding that it will be ensured that the real benefits of the entire federal public spending reach their “actual and just recipients”.

“I assure everyone who stood behind me to keep faith that I will never disappoint them,” Marwat said.
