Afghan president beefs up anti-graft body - AFP

KABUL — Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Thursday boosted the power of an anti-corruption body that had faced fierce accusations of being toothless and half-hearted in its battle to wipe out official graft.

"It gives Mr Osmani and his unit further power. I wish him success," he said, referring to the head of the body, Mohammad Yasin Osmani.

The High Office of Oversight and Anti-Corruption will now be permitted to investigate allegations of corruption after Karzai publicly signed the document extending its authority. Afghan president beefs up anti-graft body‎
