Afghan bank governor widely slammed for blocking journalists on Twitter

Acting governor of Afghanistan central bank, Da Afghanistan Bank, Ajmal Ahmady, has been widely criticized by social media users, national and international journalists, and foreign diplomats for blocking journalists on Twitter.

Ahmady started to block reporters after they shared an investigative report by Kabul Now and Etilaatroz asking him for clarifications about a contract he had signed with the Ministry of Finance (MoF) as “Consultant” while holding the position of Senior Adviser to the President in Banking and Financial Affairs.
