Kamal Nasir Osuli, a former member of the Afghan parliament, said this week that millions of dollars were used to buy MPs& votes during the
elections for speakership role.Speaking in an exclusive interview with Ariana News, Osuli said that between $25-27 million were used during
the three rounds of voting for the speakership role, in which he was also a candidate.But it doesn''t mean all the 250 MPs were corrupt,&
Osuli maintained.According to the former lawmaker, there was massive corruption in the previous government, which was a big problem.Most of
the people & 95 percent & were involved in corruption in various categories,& Osuli said
&It was a big problem.Corruption however was eradicated after the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) took over, he said
&But there needs to be sustainable efforts to prevent corruption,& Osuli said
&I am afraid if the situation remains the same and laws are not made and there is no law-based punishment, corruption may increase.On peace
talks between the United States and IEA, Osuli said that the Ashraf Ghani-led government was bypassed in the process.The Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan was mentioned in the agreement, but not as a party to the deal
The parties were the US and the Taliban (IEA),& Osuli said
