Leaked Audio Clip Controversy

In July 2020, Wazir was removed from his position as information adviser after a leaked audio clip surfaced in social media where Wazir was allegedly taking commissions from an advertising firm.[5] Soon after a high level committee was formed on 14th July 2020 to investigate Ajmal Wazir's controversial audio clip.[6] In May 2021 the committee announced the findings of investigations about Wazir's alleged leaked audio clip regarding commission for a deal with an advertising agency. Former KP spokesperson Ajmal Wazir cleared of corruption charges. The commission could not confirm the veracity of the audio tape. It could also not establish Wazir's link with the audio clip either.[7]
