TAWDA KHABARE: Govt Needs Stronger Anti-Corruption Measures
Sarwar Danish, Afghanistan’s second vice president, addressed a gathering on Monday-- International Anti-Corruption Day-- and said: “Despite some achievements, we have not been completely successful in fighting against corruption.”
“The government needs to appoint “clean” people as leaders in every organization in order to fight corruption,” Danish said, adding: “Outside the government we also need strong organizations to fight against corruption.”
In the meantime, UNAMA in a statement on Monday said that the UN "reiterates its support" for Afghanistan’s initiatives to fight corruption, and acknowledges steps made to "challenge impunity."
