Afghanistan stands among the poorest countries of world with more than 60 percent of its population living below or slightly above the line of poverty; still some officials do not sympathize with Afghans. The most prior reason behind the failure to strengthen the backbone of Afghan economy is the severe security problems and deep-rooted corruption. Aided with government’s intangible plans to eradicate unemployment –the insecurity and despondency have forced large number of youth flee the country in the search for better life.

It was grand conference where the President Ashraf Ghani once again promised to create jobs for the citizens amid alarming flee of Afghans to Europe in a bid to seek employment and peaceful life. Ghani announced at the 5th National Community Development Councils Consultative Conference in Kabul that a number of programs will be launched in weeks to create employment for the citizens. National Solidarity Program (NSP) is a government-run program aimed at developing the ability of Afghan communities to identify, plan, manage and monitor their own development projects. Stressing the need for implementation of National Solidarity Program (NSP) across the country, he said the programs of all the ministries would be run through NSP in order to develop the Afghan communities in all corners of the country. Ghani admitted that Afghanistan is a rich country but the citizens are facing economic issues. Undeniably, Afghanistan is resource rich country, the timeless abuse and misuse of these resources could not take it out of burden of problems.

Afghanistan’s economy is the worst hit by consecutive quacks of corruption. Admittedly the core reason underlined behind the failure to strengthen the backbone of Afghan economy is the severe security problems and deep-rooted corruption. It is anticipated the government will work out a plan to eradicate this great menace. As the problem of security and corruption persist, there seems to be a declining chance of betterment, and people will still have to wait for actual prosperity. This is a grave state of worsening affair that presses hard the already wrecked economy of Afghanistan and utter negligence of government to tackle the peril of corruption. This is an undeniable fact either government is unwilling or hapless before powerful power abusers –despite the fact, president has been showing interest in lodging cases against power abusers.

Earlier the government launched the ‘Smart City Township’ Project which was attended by President Ashraf Ghani’s legal adviser Abdul Ali Mohammadi, Ghani’s special representative for reform and good governance, Ahmad Zia Massoud and other government officials. Surprisingly, the projects are handed over to those individuals whose fame in manipulating public offices could not be earthed. Reportedly, Khalilullah Ferozi, one of the biggest convicts in Kabul Bank scandal, shares a big part in the project. In the wake of renowned bank scandals and financial embezzlements, the international institutions had lost their confidence, undertaking any consignment with Afghan banks and donor countries hesitant to grant financial supports to poverty stricken country.

Kabul Bank, once the country’s largest financial institution, was badly shaken and collapsed in 2010 in one of the largest banking schemes in the former history. Given everything ruined the Bank is put on auction, seem an unhesitant act of financial self-immolation. The former chairman of Kabul Bank, Sherkhan Farnood, and CEO Ferozi were sacked from their positions and arrested over the embezzlement of more than $900 million USD in cash and assets. Ferozi and Farnood were sentenced each to 15 years in jail in a court verdict last November after they were found guilty in the collapse of Kabul Bank, now run by the government Although, President Ashraf Ghani on Saturday issued a decree invalidating the contract recently signed with a bankrupt debtor of Kabul Bank. After assuming the office president Ghani had pledged last year that he would pursue the manipulators and recover the stolen money of Kabul Bank scam. The move undoubtedly marks the government’s unwillingness than negligence suing the case and bringing the culprits behind the bars until all the stolen money is not returned. This off-course earns infamy to the leaders of National Unity Government erodes their commitment to fight corruption body and downs their credibility, the significant worst. This stance depicts government is dispensing exceptional confidence on those who ruined a well built institution.  This is a grave state of worsening affair that presses hard the already wrecked economy of Afghanistan and utter negligence of government to tackle the peril of corruption. This is an undeniable fact either government is unwilling or hapless before powerful power abusers –despite the fact, president has been showing interest in lodging cases against power abusers.  Despite these measures the corrupt officials enjoys misappropriating their positions, provided the system of general amnesty to potential power abuser are chained fast to the ground, given number of influential personalities involved in money embezzlement from public offices, heinous crime against citizens and power misuse were given amnesty without being subjected to strict measures entailing answerability. This attitude of government had discouraged new investments with remnants intended to downsizing and withdrawing a dire omen for progress of country needs immediate reversal by practical measures. This implies that the expanding role of government in development has placed some officials in a monopolistic position and has enhanced the opportunities for unlimited administrative misappropriation.
