Employees of DAB Suspended for  Alleged Corruption Reinstated

KABUL - The Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) has reversed the job suspension of its three employees accused of receiving $47,600 bribe from a firm UNICON, Pajhwok Afghan News reliably learned on Tuesday.
Documents showed that the amount received in bribe by the trio had been transferred to a particular bank account.
Pajhwok Afghan News learned from documents available with the agency that the Financial Supervision Department (FSD) of the DAB had signed a capacity building agreement with UNICON in November 2017.
On June 02, 2019, UNICON dispatched an email to DAB Governor Khalil Sediqi about some information provided to the   
The source said three weak and false reasons were presented to AG which led to an unreasonable decision. “The AG was told the company has been refusing to appear before the AGO, secondly that the company has withdrawn its claim and thirdly why the company made the claim two months after the money had been taken. “All these claims are untrue.”
Pajhwok could not receive a copy of official decision about the reinstatement of three accused. AGO spokesman Jamshid Rasouli said Pajhwok could obtain information about the matter after filling and summiting an access to information form.
A central bank spokesman said it would take time to give a reply as the concerned authorities were on an official visit.
UNICON also did not reply to emails until filing of this report. (Pajhwok)
