Khalid Payenda, who resigned as Afghanistan's Finance Minister as the Taliban took over the country in August 2021, is now working as an Uber driver in the US, The Washington Post reported.
"Right now, I don't have any place. I don't belong here and I don't belong there," Payenda said.
Payenda, who is driving Uber in Washington DC, told the US daily from behind the wheel of a Honda Accord, "If I complete 50 trips in the next two days, I receive a $95 bonus".
He also works as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University.
Payenda resigned as finance minister a week before the Taliban seized Kabul, as his relationship with Ghani deteriorated.
Fearing the president would have him arrested, he left for the US, where he joined his family and eventually took up driving for Uber.
