| Karzai Spokesperson Resignation Approved |
| 2011-01-04 |
| This is the one they denied yesterday... [Tolo News] President Karzai's Spokesperson, Wahid Omar, Monday approved the news claiming he had resigned. He said his resignation is not politically motivated. Yesterday a source close to Karzai's Office told TOLOnews that Wahid Omar, the spokesperson for President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai, had presented his resignation letter to the President. But hours after the news was aired, President's Office strongly rejected it. He said: "I have presented my resignation letter to the Afghan president. My resignation has been approved in principle, but the administrative process is not yet over." Wahid Omar started working as Karzai's spokesperson early on 2010. It is not clear whether Mr Omar leaves the whole government or he will be appointed in another position. "I wish this is taken as something normal in government structure. I hope it is finalised as soon as possible," he said. "Once again I would like to repeat there hasn't been any political reason behind this." Nope. Just want to spend some quiet time at my opium ranch... Officials in President's Office have yet to comment about his replacement. |
