KABUL - Nevertheless lawmakers have stated that no court maintains the legal authority to interpret the Constitution without having a legal framework to do so.
A number of Afghan lawmakers on Thursday said the Supreme Court has upheld parliament’s ruling to dismiss seven ministers following their failure to spend their development budgets.
“We have not been officially informed about it, but the general view and the rumors indicate that the Supreme Court has ratified the legal action taken by parliament and the court has not allowed a new dispute to emerge with the Wolesi Jirga - which is of course against the law,” said MP from Badakhshan Fawzia Kofi.
“Our expectation now and in the past from the president [Ashraf Ghani] was to respect the law and introduce new nominees in the place of those ministers who were disqualified so that we can give them the vote of confidence before the winter recess,” another lawmaker Nazir Ahmad Ahmadzai said.
Back in November, the Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament) dismissed seven ministers - adding to a list of issues faced by the national unity government under Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah – who themselves have been at loggerheads for months. 
Nevertheless lawmakers have stated that no court maintains the legal authority to interpret the Constitution without having a legal framework to do so.
In addition to this, lawmakers accused government leaders of violating the law by keeping the dismissed ministers in their positions.

“I think referring the case to the Supreme Court was against the Constitution and against parliamentary ethics. The Constitution has anticipated that the impeachment of ministers should be the authority of the Wolesi Jirga. Based on Articles 91 and 92 of the [Afghan] Constitution the Wolesi Jirga, considering its understanding of the situation, is allowed to decide on impeachment,” said MP Abdul Qayum Sajjadi. (Tolonews)
