Hamid Karzai's administration has been accused of corruption
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has pledged to lead a "clean" government, a day after winning a new five-year term.
In his first remarks since being declared winner of August's fraud-marred election, he said he would "eradicate the stain" of corruption.
He also pledged an inclusive government for anyone who wanted to work with him whether they supported or opposed him.
