A number of civil society activists and members of anti-corruption monitoring organizations said on Saturday at a gathering the new National Anti-Corruption Strategy, recently approved by the High Commission for Rule of Law, is “defective and incomplete” and will lead government’s anti-graft campaign nowhere.

The CEO of Integrity Watch Afghanistan, Sayed Ikram Afzali, said the views of the civil society organizations have not been included in the strategy, adding that government has prepared the strategy to keep the international community happy and garner their support.
