A document seen by media outlets shows that President Ashraf Ghani has put 68 senior officials of the Ministry of Finance, including three deputy ministers, many director generals and heads of customs on a list banning their travel.

But a number of lawmakers in the parliament have said that the move by the president is intended to replace those on the list with other corrupt people in those bodies that generate money for the country.

The Presidential Palace has so far not made an official comment about the decision.

Lawmakers said that if the president wants to fight corruption, he should start by seeking accountability from the former minister of finance.
