Khan 2007, 238쪽: "It was against this backdrop of massive systemic corruption and near-state collapse that the Pakistani Army Chief, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a coup and took power in Pakistan in October 1999. Like every Pakistani ruler before him, Musharraf promised to go after corrupt politicians, loan defaulters and all those who had profited from the misery of the average Pakistani. Unlike most of them, it seemed that Gen. Musharraf was actually going to do something about the systemic corruption plaguing Pakistan" (거대한 구조적 부패와 전국가적 부조리에 대응하고자 했던 이러한 배경에는 파키스탄군의 수장이었던 페르베즈 무샤라프가 1999년 8월 나와즈 샤리프 총리를 실각시키고 파키스탄의 실권을 장악했던 배경이 있다. 이전의 많은 파키스탄의 정치인들이 그랬던 것처럼 무샤라프 또한 부패 정치인들, 막중한 국가 채무를 발생시킨 장본인들과 보통의 파키스탄인들이 겪는 고통을 악용하여 경제적 이익을 얻는 사람들을 척결하겠다고 약속했다. 이전의 사람들과 달랐던 점이라면, 그는 구조적인 부패에 대해 구체적인 행동을 했다는 점이겠다.)

Khan 2007, 239쪽: "However, Amjad proved to be too efficient and zealous at his work and was replaced as Chairman within a year when he told Musharraf that senior serving military officers would also have to be prosecuted if a true housecleaning was to be effected."
