The Attorney General Office (AGO) said Tuesday that the cases of five former ministers accused of graft charges have been referred to the Supreme Court of Afghanistan.
Basir Azizi, spokesman for the Attorney General Office (AGO) told reporters that the former ministers are accused of corruption and misuse of power.
Former transportation ministers Hamidullah Qaderi and Enayatullah Qasemi, former trade and commerce minister Amin Farhang, along with the former mines minister Mohammad Sediq and former minister of economy Jalil Shams are facing prosecution over graft charges and misuse of power, Azizi said.
He also added that the cases of five former ministers were referred to Supreme Court on Tuesday.
According to Azizi, the Attorney General Office is working on the cases of a number of other government officials accused in corruption.
Azizi said the cases will be sent to the court once the Attorney General Office finalizes its work.



I am delighted to see the new government is very tough on system and individual corruption and misuse of power. I hope the focus is more on the system rather than individual because a corrupt system is to blame for the corrupt individuals.
