Afghan Ministry of Interior confirms 186 officials dismissed for corruption
Afghan Ministry of Interior says that at least 186 alleged corrupt policemen and customs officials have been dismissed.
According to the Ministry, cases of officials charged with corruption and extortion of truck drivers on highways have been referred to the Attorney General’s Office for further investigation.
General Abdul Sabur Qaneh, Deputy Interior Minister said in a statement that corrupt officers would be replaced with educated, qualified ones.
The move followed a three-week strike by truck drivers over the corruption allegations.
In the absence of a robust rail network, landlocked Afghanistan relies heavily on road transport on insecure, bumpy roads for international trade and the domestic economy.
The transporters’ strike, along with a massive fire at the Islam Qala port in Herat province earlier this month at the border with Iran, led to a rise in prices of many basic commodities across the country.
Preliminary reports indicated the fire had started after a gas tanker exploded.
