State Department hit on failures to monitor Iraq work
In a recent audit of more than $2.5 billion paid to a contractor in Iraq, the government claims that 1 individual is more that adequate to oversee that contract. Assistant Secretary of State David Johnson agreed and claims that 1 person overseeing a contract of that size is more than adequate. The audit thought otherwise.
Unfortunately, the audit disclosed numerous problems with the contract. Including, but not limited to:
- spending $450,000 on renting 2 generators that would have cost $78,000 to buy.
- renting housing costs increased from $12,000 to $20,000.
- spending $4.5 million to protect 6 men who already had their own guards.
Aren't you glad the government is so carful with the money they steal (tax) from the slaves (citizens)?
