Afghanistan has been earned bad name for its endemic corruption. The National Unity Government is committed to fight corruption. But, practical step is very much important to eliminate this. Endemic corruption has to be eliminated; otherwise it will eat our all infrastructures and further trigger us toward backwardness. We can’t expect development beside corruption.
