FEROZKOH (Pajhwok): A number of workers of aid agencies have been arrested on charges of corruption by security organs in western Ghor province.
The arrests come a week after the Ghor governor ordered a halt to the activities of such organisations in the province due to lack of transparency.
In a statement, the governor’s house claimed the aid agencies had been operating in Ghor over the past several years, based on their own criteria.
Some employees of the NGOs embezzled the aid money instead of distributing it to the needy, the governor’s spokesman Abdul Wahid Hamas alleged.
