Presidential Citadel Considers 23,300,000 AFG To Form Ex-President’s Office

Afghanistan Presidential Citadel in a decree calls for the creation of an independent budget unit for the former President, Hamid Karzai.

President Ashraf Ghani demanded the finance ministry that more than 20 million Afghanis from the 95 code of public administration should be transferred to the office of administrative affairs budget until the adoption of former president’s office budget.

Earlier, the former President Hamid Karzai has demanded his rights and privileges from the office of administrative affairs.

The finance minister, Aklil Hakimi claims that he is aware of Karzai’s rights according the law but is not aware of the 95 code.

“The former president will receive his privileges under the constitutions but I do not know anything about the 95 code,” Finance ministry said.

However, Afghan analysts say that President Ashraf Ghani gives hush money to President Karzai.

This comes as that the decree sparked Parliament members anger, saying, “The half $ million will be paying to President Hamid Karzai’s office monthly is the tax money that takes from the pockets of Afghan people and their mobiles’ credit cards.

“The usage of these public funds must be investigated and prevented,” Sarwar Osmani Farahi, representative of Farah said.
