Afghan war waste: $500k, adobe-style police base melted in rain - report - RT

A $500,000 Afghan police training center contracted by the US fell apart four months after completion based on faulty construction, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said in a report on money wasted amid the war effort.

The adobe-style brick buildings were built to emulate an Afghan village in order for police to train for search operations. Yet, four months after its completion, the roof and walls began “melting" in the rain, according to the report by John Sopko, the US government’s special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction (SIGAR).

The report alleged that the US did not adequately supervise or hold to account the selected Afghan contractor -- Qesmatullah Nasrat Construction Company -- which failed to follow contract and building requirements.

The watchdog’s report is the latest in a string of accounts of American taxpayer dollars wasted on Afghanistan war projects, including expenditures like a $34 million unused base and patrol boats for use in the landlocked nation.

opko said previously that “billions of dollars” of the more than $100 billion spent to rebuild the nation have been wasted or stolen.  Read More at Afghan war waste: $500k
