Open and Clear Robbery
Interview of Kabul press with
Dr. Ramazan Bashardust member of Afghan Parliament
Minister of Water and Energy Mr. Esmaiel khan, minister of
Aviation and
Transportation Mr. Jawed, minister of Finance Mr. Ahady several
past months
Have decided to increase price of flash, price of national bus
ticket and increase of customs
Toll of vehicles and declared that able to execution. This is
clear failure of Afghanistan's
Constitution. Because in article of 42, second vertebra of
constitution came as this:
None kind of finance and product legislate without order of law.
So according to Constitution dependent ministers didn't have
authority of increase of costs and don't.
They just had authority of suggestion of legislation via
government.
(97th article of constitution) suggestions of dependent
ministers must to refer to ministers
Assembly and after approval of that by cabinet was referred to
the Parliament. if Parliament ( Senate and lower house )
approved increase of these costs, after approval of that by
President and publishing of that in an official Journal in that
way that was able to execution. But dependent ministers have
overlooked the Parliament's authority completely, in fact the
increase of costs and it's laws is a kind of clear robbery of
people's incomings from side of government, at the same time I
offered plan of a law by having the signature of ten Advocates
according to article of 97th of vertebrae of 7 that
at it's first article I've urged the cancellation of increase
of perversely of costs. And at second article I wanted the
lower house to interpolate the dependent ministers because of
failure of Constitution. This plan of law was written in lower
house's agenda and discussed but unfortunately members of lower
house gave this plan to commission over. Anyway, I warned that
the lower house commissions also will have the destiny of
commissions that Mr. Karzai has made .after several months,
nowadays we see in action that the dependent commissions of
lower house don't have any discoveries like government's
commissions must to increase as I said in Afghanistan's lower
house that if increase of these costs won't pay by people, from
sight of legal they don't commit any crime and lawfully must not
followed. Turn off people's flash because of lack of payment is
also against the law.
This is interesting that Afghanistan's constitution even doesn't
give this authority to the Parliament to approve one law that is
adverse of social justice. Because vertebrae of 3 of 42nd
article say: the size of finance and product and the method of
its passing determine regard of social justice by law. The
government employees and newcomers with a salary of 3000Afghani
and the monthly salary of 4000Afghani for disabled and the
survivors of martyrs that isn't enough just to buy bread for one
month, so how can they bear this increase of government's
prices.
