Afghanistan central bank Governor Adbul Qadir Fitrat said on Monday he has resigned his post because he feared for his life for his role in investigating a scandal surrounding Kabulbank.
“The reason I was not able to resign in Kabul was because my life was completely in danger,” Fitrat told Reuters Insider in an interview at a hotel in a northern Virginia suburb of Washington.
“This was particularly true after I spoke to the parliament and exposed some people who were responsible for the crisis of Kabulbank,” Fitrat said, adding he thought that move would bring closure to the corruption scandal at the bank.
