Poor Leadership in Security Agencies Main Reason for Insecurity: MPs

A number of Parliament members have stated that weakness in leadership of security institutions led to the ongoing insecurity in the country.

Parliament members declared that security officials have failed in providing security and it caused terrorists to achieve their targets.

“We lose dozens of men and women and troops everyday; Peoples’ mistake was just voting for incompetent leaders. In the current situation, we need some ministers who can strongly fight against terrorists. The current ministers cannot even provide the security of their own,” said Ramzan Bashardost, member of parliament.

In the meantime, a number of other lawmakers praised Afghan forces’ resistance and sacrifices but stressed on assigning professional individuals in the country’s intelligence.

The Afghan security forces did exhibit some praiseworthy capabilities in suppressing the Taliban and denying the militants to take any major areas for long.

Intelligence is Achilles’ heel of the Afghan government forces in the campaign against the insurgency.

The Afghan forces heavily rely on NATO-led coalition in major areas such as intelligence and air firepower.

This is while the coalition forces have been drawing down from Afghanistan, and Afghan forces have been shouldering the burden of the war against the insurgency alone.

The government of Afghanistan has recently stepped up efforts to get warplanes for the Afghan air force to boost the campaign against the Taliban.
