Ghulam Hussain Fakhri, head of the High Office of Oversight and Anti-Corruption on Saturday said the Anti-Corruption Criminal Justice Center (ACJC) should investigate major cases and not waste its time on minor cases.

“Delay in the work of the ACJC will increase peoples’ distrust in fighting corruption and the ACJC should work on major cases,” he said.

A number of MPs meanwhile said political interference in the work of ACJC has postponed work on major cases.

“There are political and monetary interferences. The corrupt people do not want their cases to be investigated. They use their political influence and their power to prevent their cases from being investigated,” said Roqia Nayel, an MP.

Jamshid Rasuli, the Attorney General’s (AGO) spokesperson however said a few corruption cases are being processed and that at the end of this coming week an open court will be held.

“AGO prosecutors pay special attention to details to make sure everything is right. There are no problems that have delayed our work,” he said.

Government established the ACJC ahead of the Brussels Summit to fight corruption in the country. MPs however said after the summit, the ACJC’s work on major cases decreased.
