IEA claims major decline in corruption across government institutions

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) says administrative corruption has been significantly reduced over the past four years, placing anti-corruption efforts at the top of its governance agenda.

Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson of the IEA, stated that the government has taken “serious and effective measures” to combat corruption, embezzlement, and illegal land grabbing. According to him, the level of corruption in state institutions has been brought “to a minimum.”

Fitrat acknowledged that some challenges may still exist at lower administrative levels, but said a large number of individuals accused of corruption and land seizure have been arrested and referred to judicial authorities.

He warned that no official or individual will be permitted to engage in bribery, land usurpation, or administrative misconduct, adding that violators will face legal action without exception.

The deputy spokesperson further reiterated the IEA’s pledge to cleanse government structures of corruption and ensure transparent, reliable public services for citizens—describing the effort as a key priority for strengthening governance in the country.
