Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah reacted to recent appointments by President Ashraf Ghani and said he is not aware of the hiring and that it is a political move, reports Tolo News on May 27.
Last week, President Ashraf Ghani appointed three acting ministers for Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Ministry of Energy and Water and Ministry of Higher Education. The new acting ministers are Fahim Hashemi, Tahir Sharan, and Abdul Tawab Balakarzai. “Any change in ministers recently is only considered a political decision, not another move,” Abdullah said. “It is unfortunate that when the changes happen, the people of Afghanistan, including the relevant ministers are informed through social media.” “As the chief executive, I was personally embarrassed when I was asked about one of the ministers who was dismissed, and I replied that I was not aware of that. I was not informed”.
