State Department spent $50 mln on virtually invisible project in Afghanistan — RT USA:
In an “alert letter” sent to the State Department on Monday, John Sopko, the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR), said that the organization refuses to tell US investigators how the money is being spent.
An audit of legal programs administered by the State Department found that $47.8 million in taxpayer dollars went to the development organization, even though the contract was lacking “basic provisions that would allow (the State Department) to ensure proper monitoring and evaluation," the letter said.
“The irony here is that State violated its own written policy and gave them a huge check to teach the Afghans about the ‘rule of law,’” Sopko wrote. “We’re going to get to the bottom of this and hold people accountable.”
