Afghanistan Ministry of Interior (MoI) inspection department confirmed the existence of corruption in the ministry.
MoI Head of General Inspection says that any corrupted employees in the ministry will be identify and bring to justice.
Corruption is a big threat and challenge for providing security, stability and implementation of law; the ministry of interior affairs announces about a new strategy to fight against this phenomenon.
Rahimullah Burhani, MoI Head of General Inspection declared that the new strategy to fight against corruption was assigned to the transparency and accountability committee of interior ministry.
“This committee identifies and specifies the accused institutions to corruption and its responsibility is to monitor all departments that link to the interior ministry police,” said Rahimullah Burhani, MoI Head of General Inspection.
Burhani emphasized that the transparency committee will be effective in terms of fight against corruption in the interior ministry.
The inspection department of interior ministry found around 1135 illegal cases from the first month of the current year up to December 6.
Corruption is broadly defined as the abuse of entrusted authority—both public and private—for illegitimate gain.
It is an impediment not only to economic growth and development, but also to political stability, democracy, and sustainable peace.
In fragile and conflict-riddled countries such as Afghanistan, corruption can deeply undermine the effectiveness and legitimacy of nascent government institutions.
Although corruption in Afghanistan cannot be eliminated overnight, it could be significantly reduced, and even modest improvements in public accountability will substantially enhance the legitimacy of the new government.
As Afghanistan seeks to stand on its own, the national unity government cannot afford to appear indifferent to the anger many Afghans feel toward an entrenched elite widely perceived to be motivated more by greed than by a spirit of public service.
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.
