John Sopko, previous US special inspector general for Afghanistan restoration, said on Wednesday that a large quantity of United States taxpayers& & cash went into the pockets of the Islamic Emirate.
& We know it is going to continue because regrettably we have no one on the ground and the cash is going through the UN, world food company (WFP) and other international companies, and we wear&& t truly have great oversight,& & Sopko informed Fox Business.He said that he was uncertain if the US foreign help pause by the Trump administration includes cash going directly to the UN and other international organizations.Sopko stated that the US international help agency (USAID) continues to be a && broken firm.
& He said USAID employees in Afghanistan told SIGAR: && You can & t think what we are doing.
And we use that for a great deal of our reports.
But none of that got up to Washington.
That is why you heard all the happy talk &-- we are winning the war, we are helping the kids, we are constructing schools, we are doing all this &-- and it ended up they developed schools but they never ever looked if there were any instructors.
They constructed health centers however they never ever looked if there was any water or drugs or even patients.&& Sopko stated that the whole goal was to invest the money, and it wasn&& t simply for USAID, but the United States Department of Defense and the Department of State.&& The test was: did you spend your appropriated funds, and if you didn&& t, you lost cash, if you didn & t, you weren & t promoted.
Which is the whole deception we had in between the truth on the ground and what the American individuals were being informed by the aid administrators, the ambassadors, the generals and everybody for the last 20 years,& & he said.Earlier, John Sopko declared that the Islamic Emirate is diverting or otherwise taking advantage of a significant quantity of U.S.
assistance.IEA, however, has actually rejected the claim.The post A sizeable quantity of United States cash entered into IEA&& s pockets: John Sopko initially appeared on Ariana News.
