Haqqani outlines efforts being made to strengthen governance
Acting Minister of Interior, Sirajuddin Haqqani, says “serious and continuous efforts” are underway by the leadership of the Islamic Emirate in the areas of reform, facilitating affairs, standardizing public services, and developing a legal framework.
Abdul Mateen Qani, spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior, quoted Haqqani in a statement published on Tuesday, saying during the closing ceremony of a seminar on reform and capacity building for directors of ministry offices: “Amir al-Mu’minin (IEA Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada) is working around the clock to strengthen the Islamic system, implement reforms, expand services to the people, and establish principled legislation.”
During the seminar, Haqqani urged officials to treat people with kindness.
“You are the implementers of government decisions. People come to your doors. The connection between the nation and the government is established through you. You must respond to the people’s problems in a timely manner, with honesty, sincerity, and commitment, and represent both them and the system faithfully,” he said.
He also emphasized the importance of enhancing the capacity of administrative staff, stating: “Administrative training is not a flaw, but a source of pride. One must always seek
learning and professional growth. Experience sharing, cooperation, and continuous progress are the keys to delivering quality services.
“The credibility of the Islamic system must be more valuable to us than our personal interests, desires, and positions. We must carry out our duties in accordance with decrees, laws, and regulations. If there is any complexity in a matter, clarification should be sought from senior figures and the leadership; however, the affairs of the people should not be unnecessarily and unjustifiably delayed under the pretext of review and assurance,” Haqqani stressed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has announced the release of American citizen Dennis Coyle from prison.
According to the ministry, Coyle’s mother had written to the leader of the Islamic Emirate demanding amnesty and the release of her son on the occasion of Eid, and the Supreme Court considered his imprisonment sufficient and decided to release him.
The United Kingdom has announced an additional £3 million (AFN 257 million) in humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan, aimed at supporting people affected by natural disasters and other shocks.
Richard Lindsay, in a post on X, said the funding will be used to provide essential nutrition supplies and related support to vulnerable populations.
The new allocation brings the UK’s total bilateral assistance to Afghanistan for the current financial year to £154 million (AFN 13.18 billion).
