Taliban To Set Up Special Courts To Review Salaries For Retirees
Bakhtar News Agency, a Taliban-controlled media outlet, reported that the group's leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, has ordered the establishment of special courts to review pensions.
The report states that these courts must enforce the rights of retirees based on "Sharia and the law”.
Bakhtar News Agency reported on Saturday, December 21, that Hibatullah Akhundzada has issued a decree obliging the Ministry of Finance to regulate and implement the salaries of retirees.
Earlier, the Taliban leader had issued a decree canceling the pension system in Afghanistan. The Taliban has not paid pension to retirees in their more than three years of control over Afghanistan.
Over the past three years, retirees have repeatedly protested in front of the Retirement Treasury Department, the Ministry of Finance, and UNAMA to pursue their rights to withdraw salaries.
