MPs Warn to Summon  President on Cabinet Issue

KABUL - The one-week deadline of Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament) to the National Unity Government (NUG) on formation of the cabinet has ended with no sign of progress on introducing the nominees.

After criticisms and pressures on NUG were proved useless, the House of Representatives earlier this week set a final one-week deadline to NUG to finalize the cabinet issues or the MPs would make their final decision.

As the deadline have also been in vain, the lawmakers now warn to impeach President Ashraf Ghani to the Parliament.

"President's impeachment is the final option but before that, we will try to pressurize the government through other channels," deputy head of justice committee Mohammad Obda warned.

The MPs declared that they would not remain silent on government's reluctance towards Parliament's decision.

"The cabinet nominees should have been introduced after this deadline but unfortunately it didn't happen," MP Saleh Mohammad Saljoqi said. "We are now going to pressurize more the government through our legal authorities."

The Kabul residents also criticize the government for frequently delaying issue, saying the current acting ministers and acting heads are not properly addressing people's issues.

"Afghanistan is in critical situation. The government needs to put an end on dispute on power sharing," Kabul resident Muhammad Ibrahim said.

But according to MPs who recently met with President Ashraf Ghani, the government intends to introduce the cabinet nominees during next 10 days. (Tolonews)
