Former Afghanistan finance minister is a cab driver in Washington
Six months ago, he was the Finance Minister of a country. As his relationship with former President Asraf Ghani worsened, Khalid Payenda resigned as Finance Minister a week before the Taliban captured Kabul. The person in charge of the country’s budget, worth thousands of crores of rupees, has suddenly become a car driver.
Due to circumstances, the minister, who was out of power, was running cabs on the roads for the sake of his existence and the survival of his family members. Payenda works six hours a day and earns $150 to maintain his family.
According to reports, he fled to the United States, where he reunited his family, fearing arrest by the President.
