MAIMANA (Pajhwok): Local officials in northwestern Faryab province claim an increase in revenue at Aqina port, saying 95 per cent of corruption has been prevented in the port, while traders say a 30 percent tax which had been waived off before is reapplied now.
They say that 95 percent of businessmen who currently had no imports through Aqina port were contractors of Ashraf Ghani administration, who were transporting goods by force and without paying custom duty. The officials say that the tax of 80 percent of traders would also go to personal pockets instead of the government’s treasure.
