The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) is a never-ending job, with programs both new and old seemingly forever popping up with little to no oversight and wasting millions in taxpayer dollars.
Today’s edition is the State Department’s “justice training” program, which will drop $47.4 million on training Afghan judges and lawyers and which, according to SIGAR John Sopko lacks even “basic provisions” for serious oversight.
Sopko noted (pdf) that not only were such provisions not in place, but the contractor who is receiving the money has refused to comply with SIGAR requests for information about the organization of the program.
The State Department condemned SIGAR for the report, saying that the program has “only been in place about six months” and that there hasn’t been any evidence of fraud yet. Of course, the lack of oversight means that there likely never will be such evidence.
Its the same thing in USA, the killing of that black boy by that Zimmerman or that women in NY getting 27 years for shooting at the wall wanting to scare away her abusive husband, or that dying old women in prison, or all political prisoners in USA and those companies making billions profit, In US is called functional justice, in other country is called whatever, Afghanistan is one of those countries.
