Background:
Both Afghan Central Bank Governor Fitrat and Finance Minister Zakhilwal have expressed concern about the health and activities of Pashtany Bank Pashtani Tujarati Bank. They are both eager to remove Pashtany Bank Presiident Hayat Dayani from office as one step in a reform process that could include consolidating Pashtany with its sister state-owned Bank Millie and opening state-owned bank ownership to private shareholder investment. (20090831)

Officials of Pashtany Bank (state bank) Pashtani Bank claimed that some people have withdrawn millions of dollars from the bank through fake documents and checks, putting the bank’s future in jeopardy.(20111102). Some 32 commercial companies managed to receive US$ 38 million in loan from the Pashtany Bank by providing fake documents. It is said that the High Office of Oversight and Anti-Corruption was investigating into the case, but a high-level Government official has ordered it to stop its enquiry.(20120131)

Former Afghan Central Bank Governor Fitrat and Finance Minister Zakhilwal early had expressed concern to US Embassy officers about the health and activities of Pashtany Bank. (20090831) They were both eager to remove Pashtany Bank President Hayat Dayani from office.

Over a few months in 2009  the Central Bank has privately accused Pashtany Bank of corruption, improper loans, and general dayani_hayatmismanagement as part of their onsite examination process. After the Presidential Elections in 2009 Hayatullah Dayani was removed as Pashtany Bank's President.

The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has arrested 13 people, including former chief of the state-run Pashtani Bank, on the charge of embezzling government funds worth $35 million (1.7 billion afghanis), an official said 20120311. Those  detained included Hayatullah Diani, the bank’s former chief, and several officials of the Urban Development Ministry. Under the pretext of development projects, $35 million were loaned to 70 construction companies, which were neither registered with the Ministry of Finance, nor with the Afghanistan Investment Support Agency (AISA). Land documents submitted by firm owners as guarantee for the loans were faked. The scam surfaced after a Ministry of Finance team launched a probe into the bank’s $132 million deposits. The team disclosed 13 names involved in the scam to the AGO after completing their investigation.

 

Currently imprisoned in Pul-e-Charkhi, former Chief of the Pashtanay Bank Hayatullah Dayani demands assistance and cooperation in arresting the individuals involved in the embezzlement of the loans.(20130210)

Dayani, former Pashtany bank head and his six other employees have been jailed for 10 years each over embezzlement of more than one billion Afghanis several years ago. The court has also ordered Hayatullah Dayani and others to repay the stolen money. Dayani presided the government-owned bank from 2006 to 2008.(20151121)
