Afghan president orders inquiry into unreleased U.N. police report
(Reuters) - Afghanistan's president has ordered the interior ministry to investigate why a United Nations-funded report on corruption in the Afghan police force was ignored and take appropriate action, a copy of a directive seen by Reuters shows.
"It was the Afghan government that blew the whistle," a spokesman for President Ashraf Ghani told Reuters. "We will not tolerate any kind of corruption."
Details of the unpublished report were first revealed by Reuters at the start of the week.
TheUnited Nations Development Programme (UNDP) said it was reviewing its processes to improve internal oversight after the report was not shared with senior UN officials following its submission in January.
The report was produced for the UNDP-run fund that pays for Afghan police salaries and other expenses. It recommended firing senior officials for sabotaging the main system for processing complaints about misconduct in the force.
Ghani ran on promises to clear up rampant corruption and the Law and Order Trust Fund of Afghanistan (LOTFA) has been one of his targets since taking office in September. Read More
