![EKHTELAS 20 - 4 - 2015 - PASHTO - SOT.avi_snapshot_01.27_[2015.04.20_17.42.09]](http://ariananews.af/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/EKHTELAS-20-4-2015-PASHTO-SOT.avi_snapshot_01.27_2015.04.20_17.42.09.jpg)
A number of representatives in Parliament claimed that the signature of former justice minister, Asadullah Ghaleb revealed in ministry of defense fuel contract seven months after his death.
Representatives called on government to prosecute those who involve in the embezzlement of the ministry of defense fuel contract.
Nilofar Ibrahimi, Member of Parliament said, “Mr. Ghaleb died one year ago before the signing of this contract, but the interesting thing is that his signature is on the contract.”
While the fact-finding commission stablished by president Ghani announced about the finance corruption of more than $ 100 million in relation to defense ministry’s fuel contract, some of Parliament representatives reveal new features regarding the case.
They also talked about big money deals between a number of representatives and ministerial nominees.
Representatives also accused president’s economic consultant, Omar Zakhial Wal in widespread finance corruption in the ministry of defense fuel contract.
“Zakhail Wal involves in the embezzlement of ministry of defense fuel contract but unfortunately he has not punished yet,” Latif Pedram, member of parliament said.
Ariananews wanted to have Zakhail Wal’s comments regarding the issue but failed to make contact with him.
The fact-finding commission findings indicate a widespread corruption of more than $ 100 million in defense ministry’s fuel contract but it is unclear who involve in this embezzlement so far.

Iran executed four Afghan prisoners in Vakliabad Prison in Mashhad on Thursday morning, a human rights group reported.
Haalvsh said that the individuals had been arrested in 1398 over drug-related charges and then sentenced to death by the court.
This organization announced the names of the executed prisoners as Zaman Taheri, Salam Taheri, Gholam Qadir Samani and Ebrahim Noorzahi.
Zaman Taheri and Salam Taheri were brothers.
Iranian officials have not commented about the matter so far.
Two people were killed after roof of their house collapsed in southern Helmand province on Friday night, officials said.
Abdul Bari Rashid, head of information and culture in Helmand, told Ariana News that the incident occurred in Tajkan village of Gershak district due to heavy rain.
According to him, the dead include a woman and a child. A man was injured in the incident.
This comes as 10 people have died and six others have been injured as a result of the floods in Helmand province in the last one week.
Officials at the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) say 7,000 incomplete projects of the World Bank are at risk of destruction in Afghanistan. They call on the World Bank to resume the work of these projects.
According to them, discussions have been held with the World Bank about these projects, but there has been no result yet.
“7,000 incomplete projects are being destroyed, and if the work is not started, these projects will be destroyed. We ask the World Bank to resume the work of these projects as soon as possible,” said Noorul Hadi Adel, the spokesperson of MRRD.
Meanwhile, members of the private sector also ask international institutions to resume their work in Afghanistan.
According to the officials of this sector, with the start of these projects, job opportunities will be provided for thousands of people in the country.
“These projects create employment for our people and the country will grow a lot,” said Mirwais Hajizadeh, a member of the private sector.
However, economic experts stated if the work of these projects does not start soon, they will be destroyed and the investments made in them will be wasted.
