KABUL (Pajhwok): Shamim Katawazai has been appointed as new governor for southeastern Paktia province, a well-placed source said on Sunday.
The government official said Katawazai’s appointment suggestion had been sent to President Ashraf Ghani by the Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG). He said the president had approved the suggestion.
He said Katawazai would be formally introduced as Paktia governor until the end of the ongoing week.
However, IDLG’s spokeswoman Monira Yousufzai said there had been no suggestion for Paktia governor . . .
