RASC News Agency: Local sources within Bamyan province have divulged the retrieval of misappropriated assets belonging to the Taliban’s educational domain at the residence of Sheikh Nazer Jafari, the erstwhile chief of the group’s educational sector. On the day of Wednesday, December 20th, Taliban intelligence forces unearthed an assortment of items, including bedsteads, gabion wire, sawn wood, and firewood within the confines of Sheikh Nazer’s abode. Consequently, these seized assets underwent relocation to the Bamyan Department of Education. The prevailing presumption posits that Sheikh Nazer illicitly diverted these resources during his stewardship of the Taliban’s Department of Education in Bamyan, clandestinely concealing them in the excavation beneath his domicile—an excavation ultimately uncovered by the astute Taliban intelligence.
A source within the department has corroborated this intelligence, further disclosing the embezzlement of a substantial sum during Sheikh Nazer’s official incumbency. Reports accentuate Sheikh Nazer’s acquisition of land valued at 10 million Kabuli rupees in the Panjab district of Bamyan province throughout his nine-month presidency. Remarkably, the Taliban cadre in the province has chosen a conspicuous silence on this matter—a conspicuousness of note, given the litany of allegations concerning embezzlement and financial-administrative malfeasance that have implicated officials across various provinces within the Taliban’s governmental apparatus. Curiously, these implicated individuals purportedly secured their release without being subjected to any judicial proceedings.
In a recent communique, Nazer Jafari, the erstwhile luminary of Taliban education in Bamyan, revealed the appointment of a horticulturist as the novel custodian of their department. This proclamation materializes amidst the ongoing fracas surrounding the discovery of purloined assets in Sheikh Nazer’s abode. The concomitant scrutiny has ignited inquiries into the probity and transparency of the Taliban’s upper echelon, with a particular focus on financial propriety.
