Kabul (BNA) General Attorney says primary investigation has shown that problems between Kabul mayor and a number of lawmakers and senators of national assembly were personnel.
According to BNA, General Attorney Mohammad Isahq Alako in a news conference held yesterday told journalists that a number of lawmakers and senators of national assembly had personnel problems with Kabul mayor Mohammad Younis Nawandish and were trying to get privileges.
The statements came after a number of lawmakers staged protest in front of the gate of Kabul municipality and prevented Kabul mayor from entering to the municipality. They accused Kabul mayor of corruption and incapability.
Following the protest, President Hamid Karzai has ordered for investigation of Kabul mayor.
Alako further said, “They had started investigation from Kabul mayor and primary investigation shows that accusations and criticisms made by a number of lawmakers against Kabul mayor had personnel aspects.”
General Attorney named a lawmaker Qais Hasan as an example and said the lawmaker had personnel problems with Kabul mayor related to a town named Merwais Town considered as illegal by Kabul mayor.
The area where the town is to be built belongs to the government.
“Qais Hassan is also responsive to Attorney General Office because of appointment of a person named Ahmadzai at Kabul International Airport, but he hasn’t respond to the office as being a lawmaker,” Mohammad Ishaq Alako further said.
General Attorney also recalled of speaker of House of People asking for residential houses for him and a number of his family members, but the demands had been rejected by Kabul mayor.
Mohammad Ishaq Alako added that Attorney General Office would review either side’s allegations and would announce the results within a week.
