[Tolo News] Some Afghan experts along with politicians said on Wednesday that Attorney General only acts against weak people, but not against power brokers. The method the Attorney General uses to fight growing graft in Afghanistan has often been criticised by Afghan citizens and international community.
The recent contradicting comments made by the Attorney General's Office have added to the ambiguity of its approach toward eradication of corruption in Afghan system.
Yesterday Attorney General's Office announced the detention of head of the Afghan Investment Support Agency (AISA) over alleged embezzlement.
"Today Mr Delawari has officially been jugged by Attorney General's Office over alleged embezzlement," Attorney General's Spokesperson Amanullah Eman said on Tuesday.
But hours after the announcement the Attorney General's Spokesman appeared at a conference, denied the detention of the head of AISA and accused the media of spreading propaganda.
"I believe that Attorney General's Office is in haste and has no idea where to start and where to end. They just perform political acting to pretend they are seriously fighting against corruption," Ahmad Saeedi a political analyst told TOLOnews.
Noorullah Akbari member of Afghan parliament said "still the idea of the fight against corruption in Afghanistan hasn't been fundamentalised."
Afghan government claims to have made efforts to clean corruption out of its system, but experts believe that pressure from outside and some circles intervening into prosecutions have scrambled the efforts.
