Acting Attorney General Zabihullah Kalim Takes Office
Zabihullah Kalim, a graduate of Al Azhar University in Egypt and the University of California, assumed office as the acting attorney general at a ceremony in Kabul on Sunday, during which he was asked by Second Vice President Sarwar Danesh to not bow to pressure from strongmen and the wealthy.
He was also asked by the second vice president to ensure justice and to strengthen the fight against corruption.
“(The attorney general) should not be influenced by anyone in ensuring justice; otherwise, the Attorney General’s Office will change into a tool for strongmen or wealthy men,” Danesh said.
