Taliban reappoint Health Ministry official previously detained on corruption allegations

15th April, 2026 · admin

Amu: Sources have told Amu TV that Taliban have reappointed an official who was previously detained on corruption allegations to a senior administrative role in their health minister’s office. The official, Sayedullah, has been named as an in-charge within the office of the chief of staff to the Taliban minister of public health, the sources said, a position that places him inside the minister’s inner administrative structure and gives him influence over day-to-day operations. Sayedullah had been arrested months earlier on accusations of taking thousands of dollars from applicants in exchange for facilitating passports, according to the same sources. He was detained alongside two others and later released. At the time, the Interior Ministry’s intelligence wing published footage of his arrest. Sources said Sayedullah is a relative to the current chief of staff to the minister, a connection that has raised concerns about favoritism and internal patronage networks within the ministry.
