Dial 119 is the new Government in a Box™

From The Wall Street Journal:

To battle Afghanistan’s endemic corruption, a thousand Afghans every day are dialing 119.

U.S. officials say traffic on the hotline, introduced in late January for civilians to report dishonest policemen, is an early sign of progress in an antigraft campaign that is also seeing a growing contingent of Western forces begin to train and monitor Afghan security personnel to introduce professionalism to the ranks.

The push comes amid growing U.S. concern that the pervasive corruption inside the Afghan police and army is threatening the war effort by sapping public confidence in the central government and leading the Afghan public to side with the insurgency.

The latest and greatest in new fangled fixes for Afghanistan. RAMP-UP, Government in a Box™, Electricity is the New Government in a Box™, and now Dial 119. First, electricity will defeat the Taliban. Next, dial 119 will end corruption. The only Government in a Box in Afghanistan is the US Government.
