Commission Will Investigate Citizens’ Complaints About Ex-Govt Officials

The Commission for “Return and Communications with Former Afghan Officials and Political Figures” said that the commission will look into any claims made by citizens against political figures.

Ahmadullah Wasiq, the communication committee spokesperson, said that the political figures who have returned to the country have complete immunity, and that this commission will look into their cases.

“They (people) come to the commission and file a petition, registering their lawsuit … The commission then reviews their claim and takes appropriate action,” Wasiq said.

Wasiq further stated that the Islamic Emirate might have some considerations over the former president Hamid Karzai’s trips.

“The government might have its own views in this regard,” Wasiq added.

According to the commission’s recent figures, so far more than 370 political figures from the previous administration have returned to the nation.

However, reports indicate that some former government officials who have come to the country have since left Afghanistan.

“There are some of my friends and former colleagues who are keen to work with me under a specific and regular plan, therefore I came back to consult with them,” said Amanullah Ghalib, former head of Breshna company.

“More trust-building is required in Afghanistan because there are many Afghans who have significant wealth abroad. If they come and invest in the nation from the Gulf, Pakistan, Turkey, and Europe they can end the nation’s poverty,” said political expert Tariq Farhadi.

On the leader of the Islamic Emirate’s order, the Commission for “Return and Communications with Former Afghan Officials and Political Figures” was formed in the month of Sawr 1401 (solar year).

This commission is tasked with creating the conditions for the return of figures from political, military and cultural areas, and civilians who left the country following the collapse of the republican government.
