Head of WJ criticizes government’s measures over Parliament’s work period

The Wolesi Jirga (WJ) co-chair committee set a deadline for National Unity Government (NUG) to determine the time of parliamentary election on Wednesday.

A number of Parliament representatives warned the government to implement the 69^th article of the constitutions if the time of parliamentary election not determined.

Second deputy speaker of WJ in an interview with Ariananews has said that the WJ co-chair committee decided to set a deadline for the government to specify the time of parliamentary election.

“The NUG itself is made of a political agreement. Now it wants to have the legislative reference beside the illegal political agreement,” Abdul Raof Ibrahimi, head of WJ said.

Abdul Raof Anami, secretary of WJ said, “The continuation of our working period needs a legal solution not a political solution. How the government consulted with civil institutions about the legitimacy of our work?.”

Meanwhile, some of Parliament representatives are said to consider the scheme of government official’s salary contrary to the constitutions.

They opposed against the salary set for some of top government officials; adding some of the institutions still has no legitimacy.

Naqibullah Fayeq, representative of Faryab province said, “How we vote for such laws, while the government has not cleared its position about the Parliament?”

The Wolesi Jirga talked about the scheme of law regulating the salaries of government officials on Wednesday session.
