Mohammad Akbar Bai, head of Turkmen Tribal Council of Afghanistan, on Tuesday criticized President Ashraf Ghani’s recent remarks on setting justice and implementing the law equally on the people, and said that these remarks are untrue and are just a bluff.

“Justice is served if Dostum has been arrested, jailed and his job suspended,” he said.

Ghani earlier this week said that no one is above the law and that the law will prevail over everyone regardless of their position. 

“First implement the law on me and then on other Afghans. No one is above law and that is what Afghans want,” Ghani said.

Akbar Bai said Afghan government discriminates when bringing justice and implementing the law and stressed illegal actions by people should be supervised regularly.

“Law should be equally implemented against the president and his deputies right down to the lowest person in society,” he said.

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) meanwhile said they have been investigating claims made by Ahmad Eshchi, former governor of Jawzjan, against General Abdul Rashid Dostum, the first vice president, but have not completed their investigations.
