Controversy Over Appointments and Removal of Professional Staff in the Passport Directorate.
Reports indicate growing criticism regarding administrative management within the Ministry of Interior. According to some sources, these criticisms are particularly directed at the Passport Directorate.
It is said that the working environment has become increasingly tense, with rising dissatisfaction among employees and growing concerns about adherence to professional standards.
Based on these reports, Abdul Karim Haseeb, Director General of Passports, is accused of subjecting a number of experienced and professional staff members to humiliating treatment during administrative decision-making processes and, in some cases, dismissing them from their positions.
Sources claim that these actions have disproportionately affected employees from Tajik and Hazara ethnic groups, raising concerns about potential discriminatory practices within the institution.
It is also reported that following these dismissals, individuals close to the Director General have been appointed to key positions without sufficient regard for professional experience or merit.
Critics believe this trend has heightened concerns about declining meritocracy and administrative transparency within government structures.
This comes as, in recent years, several government institutions have faced similar challenges, with some employees dismissed without clear justification and replaced by individuals affiliated with the Taliban.
