The protestors said that not only their salaries have been paid but the clinics in their respective provinces are confronting a dire shortage of medicine, Khaama Press news agency reported.

Protestors accused an Afghan contractor of World Bank- Asad Fayaz- who has fled Afghanistan and has taken money from World Bank but have not been paid to them.

“Asad Fayaz has fled Afghanistan and stole our money. He was leading a corrupt firm and that caused an increase in the mortality of children and mothers in Samangan and Nuristan provinces.” a protestor told Khaama Press.

The doctors said their protest will continue if salaries are not paid.
