Kabul (BNA) People say: can change the figures be impressive in improvement of security situation in the capital?
Recently the ministry of interior introduced new figures as commanders of police zones in the capital. Bringing the changes the authorities of the ministry hope, the security situation would improve in Kabul.
BNA security affairs commenting on the issue write during the recent months Kabul was the scene a series of terrorist attacks which claimed the lives many citizens of the city and cause heavy destructions. In the meantime, the occurrence of criminal incidents, have increased public concerns and mistrust to relevant security organs.
The happening of such terrorist incidents such as suicide, explosion, murder, robbery, looting, bribery etc. caused the people to severely criticize the relevant authorities and to insist on preparing precise and practical plan and program to prevent the occurrence of such awful crimes in the future.
Wais Barmakk Minister of Interior Affairs in a session with police authorities of Kabul city in November of last year, openly criticizing the security situation in the capital warned the relevant authorities if they did not succeed in improvement of the security situation within 10 days they would be ousted from their jobs. Unfortunately, after the warning many dangerous and shocking incidents occurred in Kabul but still the minister has not succeeded to implement his warning and oust incompetent authorities. The problem was that a number of police authorities were affiliated to the high ranking officials and their appointments were based according recommendations.
Some sources and a number of politicians say that the only way for settling the problem would be appointment of competent and capable people to the relevant positions through free rivalry and competitions. The authorities of interior ministry following this method, through a transparent process, introduce new people to police office and zones that would be effective in ensuring security in the capital.
The program of the appointments new figures in police apparatus comes in time, the new draft of security policy of Kabul city has presented to the president of the country.
There is no doubt that launching free competition for appointments is firm step toward merit running admiration, but in many cases, the competition examinations have not proper results. The people say, for ensuring security in the capital, other big cities and across the country, it is required the ministry of interior should come along with a precise strategy to keep the honest and experienced cadres in their posts a strategy which will have good consequences because just changing the position of personnel would be not enough and effective.
