Following Presidential Palace’s call from the Attorney General’s Office to finalize the First Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum’s assault case against Ahmad Eshchi aimed at clarifying his return to his office, a spokesman for Dostum said on Saturday that according to the Constitution, the position and authorities of the first vice president are clear and that and there is no need for further clarity in this respect.

Dostum’s spokesman Bashir Ahmad Tayanj said remarks to this effect simply showed ignorance in terms of the law.

Following reports last year on ghost soldiers among Afghan security and defense forces, security agencies said on Saturday they have launched a new biometric registration campaign to record details of all security force members in a central data bank. 

The Ministry of Defense said however there were no ghost soldiers in the Afghan army; however, the Ministry of Interior said it is assessing 95 percent of its employees as part of their efforts to root out the problem.
