MPs Blame Govt. for Failure in War Management

MPs Blame  Govt. for Failure in  War Management

KABUL - A number of MPs in the Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament) on Saturday said that a lack of a clear war strategy has resulted in exchanging districts between security forces and insurgents and that President Ashraf Ghani should discuss this at a special meeting with lawmakers.
"Our political leaders both in higher and lower levels have failed in war management against insurgents," said Saleh Mohammad Saljoqi, an MP.
Another lawmaker, Fatima Aziz, said: "Government leaders and other authorities should be asked if they fail to overcome the situation and face people with crisis."
Meanwhile, Wolesi Jirga Speaker Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi accepted that parliament's activities in assessing security agencies have been symbolic.
"We have not summoned security officials to the house properly. We have not raised questions that are based on realities and about the issues that damage our people," Ibrahimi said.
According to the findings of Wolesi Jirga's internal security commission, relations-based appointment of security officials is one of the main reasons behind the security forces' shortcoming in fight against anti-government militants.
"The reasons that result in fall of districts, military bases and outposts is the symbolic activities in appointing security officials and we are witnessing heavy casualty and other problems in the war against insurgents," said Mirdad Nijrabi, head of the commission. (Tolonews)
