WJ fails to hold session to disclose corrupt lawmakers

The Lower House of Parliament failed to hold Saturday general session due to the absence of members of the Administrative Board of the House.

According to the agenda MP Abdul Rahim Ayoubi was scheduled to reveal a list of lawmakers who he claims pressure cabinet members and warns of interpellations to take bribes.

Earlier Ayoubi called these lawmakers more dangerous than Taliban and the Islamic State also known as Daesh in Afghanistan.

Ayoubi told to Ariana News correspondent,” I’m ready and I have the list with myself, but the session was not held today and I think this agenda was delayed same us the other issues.”

A number of lawmakers accused the Administrative Board of the House for weakness and called the situation of the country critical.

MP Shinkay Karokhail from Kabul said,” those who have a list of [corruption] must provide the list to the media, Afghanistan’s General Attorney Office, and Security organs; I wish they had this courage because the lawmakers do not have impunity against any crime they commit”.

Shirwali Wardak, another MP from Kabul said,” The Administrative members are weak, Afghanistan is in a critical condition, but the door of our house is closed, they betray the vote of the people”.

Wardak claims that Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi, the House Speaker is in Switzerland, his First Deputy Abdul Zahir Qadir is in Nengarhar and his Second Deputy Mohammad Nazir Ahmadzai is in Moscow that is why the session was not hold on Saturday.
