Ghani Lays Foundation Stone of Darulaman Administrative Complex
President Ashraf Ghani alongside other senior officials laid the foundation stone of the Darulaman Administrative Complex on Sunday.
“We want the Kabul which Babur wanted his corpse to be buried in; this Kabul is underway. A plan has been designed in six volumes and this [Darulaman Administrative Complex] is only one of them,” said President Ghani.
However, the founding stone of Darulaman Administrative Complex was laid by Sayeed Saadat Mansour Naderi, the former Minister of Urban Development alongside some other government officials including the governor of Kabul back in May 2018.
According to a statement which was released by the Kabul’s Governor Office on May 30, 2018, the infrastructure building of the first phase of the complex had begun a year ago; however, it was inaugurated for the second time today.
“This administrative complex is only part of a broad development corridor and the target is that no building can be higher than the Darulaman palace,” said President Ghani.
Jawad Peykar attended the first foundation stone-laying ceremony of the Darulaman Administrative Complex as the Chief of Afghanistan Land Authority a year ago; however, he attended the second founding stone-laying ceremony of the complex as the acting Minister of Urban Development today.
“The governmental institutions which are to offer services to the country’s citizens should have a specific address to avoid wandering of the people,” said Peykar.
It has been reported several times yet that President Ghani re-inaugurates some of the projects which have been inaugurated in the past.
The criticizers describe this action of the President as part of his electoral campaigns.
The Darulaman Administrative Complex is supposed to be constructed in 200 hectares of land where 27 governmental office will be transferred to.

The Ministry of National Defense of Afghanistan (MoD) has strongly rejected Pakistan’s claim that the recent attack on Chinese nationals in Pakistan was planned from the territory of Afghanistan.
Late last month five Chinese nationals and one Pakistani were killed in a suicide bombing near Besham, in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, Inayatullah Khwarazmi, said that Daesh came from Pakistan to the territory of Afghanistan and its goals were organized from there.
He said that Pakistan should respond to these actions.
Khwarazmi, said that in an area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which is under the security of the Pakistan Army, the killing of Chinese nationals is either the weakness of the security institutions or their cooperation with the attackers.
Khwarazmi says that the Islamic Emirate has assured China that Afghans are not involved in such incidents.
The territorial tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan are on the rise again. In the latest issue, Islamabad has accused Kabul of harboring terrorist networks.
Pakistan’s intelligence service has claimed that the Besham attack was planned in Afghanistan.
