JALALABAD - Attorney General Abdul Jabbar Sabit has said people of eastern zone will never extend support to officials involved in embezzlement.

Addressing a news conference here, Sabit said: "I have arrived in Nangarhar in connection of Jihad I have declared against corruption."

He said that people of Nangarhar, Laghman and Kunar had demanded him to pay a visit to the eastern zone. Sabit said: "I am convinced that Mazar-i-Sharif and Herat like situation will not be created here."

The Attorney General Sabit in September visited Herat and sacked few provincial attorney generals there. Sabit said there were some cases in Herat and Balkh that caused problems.

He termed administrative corruption a dragon that bites government organisations beyond healing. He said: "I fight with this dragon, but it cannot be killed by one stroke, I will strike it again and again until swollen of its wounds that may kill it." However, he would not flesh out the style of his work.  Writers, observers and tribal elders have announced their support with the Attorney General.
