He added that the president tries to not company his political opposition and pressures them.”
President Ghani has imposed restrictions on appointments in the ministry of foreign affairs, cancelling all orders previously issued.
But regarding the ministry of finance, Ghani has ordered that nobody including judiciary has the right to interfere to the financial institution.
But Shinkay Karokhil, a member of parliament and former ambassador to Canada, said that diplomats in the foreign ministry are appointed based on relations that is against national interests.
She called on the president to intervene and appoint diplomats to foreign missions based on meritocracy.
“I think this is a good decision so that foreign ministry be aware regarding the appointments. Diplomats for foreign missions are mostly appointed from a certain group,” she said.

“It is necessary that the attorney general office investigates corruption and briberies in the custom offices.”
