The former governor of Ghor province has claimed that the reason of her dismissal was because she launched a program to fight against corruption.

Sima Jouyenda, Ghor ex-governor in an exclusive interview with Ariananews says that she prevented corruption in development projects during her mission in Ghor province.

“One of the main reason of my dismissal was fighting against corruption. I have prevented corruption in the most projects,” said Sima Jouyenda, former governor of Ghor.

Jouyenda accused her deputy of involving in fraud and irregularities in development projects, saying her deputy has embezzled more than $ 100 million in development projects.

She noted that her deputy was introduced to the general attorney but after her dismissal, her deputy appointed as acting governor.

“Amin Tokhi, my deputy has signed many contracts unlike his authorities and embezzled more than $ 100 million,” Jouyenda added.

However, deputy of former Ghor governor, Amin Tokhi says, “I deny this claim and I do not know anything about this issue. This is a conspiracy against me that was made by the Governor,” said Amin Tokhi, former deputy of Ghor governor.
