50 Percent of North Officials Refuse to Disclose Assets

The High Office of Anti-Corruption in the northern zone said 50 percent officials, including two governors, in the zone refused to register their assets.
Rashid Halimi, head of the office, said they started registration of officials’ assets one and half a year ago.
They distributed 400 forms of assets registration to government officials including governors, police chiefs, heads and members of provincial councils and others.
“Unfortunately some officials have still not returned the forms, these are officials who violate the law,” Halimi said.
Halimi added the list of all officials refusing to register their assets had been shared with the central government.
According to the list, 26 government officials including a number of provincial council members of Balkh, 23 officials of Faryab and nine officials of Jawzjan province have not registered their assets.
