Britain and the United States poke fun at incompetent, arrogant middle managers in the television comedy "The Office," but in Afghanistan the target is a fictional minister of garbage in a new series called "The Ministry."involved with the show a senior producer Abazar Khayami said,"We'll see how open (Afghans) are to this style of comedy"."If you look at the United States and Europe, they are always poking fun at the government but to do that here we really don't know what to expect," he said. "No one thinks there is anything to be concerned about."
Dawlat is the arrogant minister for garbage in Hechland, which translated from Dari means "Nothing Land," and the first eight-episode season following daily life in the ministry premiered on Afghanistan's TOLO TV on Thursday.the minister says that the story of his rise to power was too long to explain."Let's just say that no one's talent and ability goes unnoticed for too long," says Dawlat, sitting at his large desk in front of a colored map of Hechland that resembles a cracked car windshield and the country's green flag with a yellow star.
"And by God's grace, I have both talent and ability," adds Dawlat, who is played by 65-year-old Abdul Qadr Farokh.
