    Us Inspector: fraud and wastage denied the fruit of 60 billion dollars spent to rebuild Iraq


    Translated by Charlotte on

    According to the latest report on Iraq reconstruction fraud and waste $ 1.5 billion cost: $ 40 million for an unfinished prison in Diyala; $ 2 million in cash into the pockets of government officials and contractors in Hilla; Bill 80 dollars for each piece mghalonh pipe of a defense contractor near Baghdad.

    These three examples of fraud and waste in spending that have plagued reconstruction efforts in Iraq, according to the Inspector General for the reconstruction of the country that issued its final report Tuesday on Iraq's reconstruction program, which is worth 60 billion dollars.

    The report reveals a waste of money or an expenditure of at least $ 1.5 billion between 2004 and 2013. The report also urges the u.s. Congress to establish a new agency – Office of emergency operations – which would oversee and coordinate the reconstruction of the future, and avoid some of the abuses.

    The report entitled learning (from Iraq), "If the United States has existed since the initiation of the programme, Iraq may have avoided wasting billions of taxpayer dollars."

    Such an Office would be crucial for the appropriate spending and contracting practices good if the United States, for example, engaging in reconstruction in Syria that destroyed entire cities where civil war.

    John Herbst, Director of the Center for complex operations at the National Defense University in Washington during his testimony before the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Council "experiences that we need legions of civilian full-time professionals to conduct stability.

    I've found the greatest armies in the world, but without counterparts. This stability will not be military operations effectively. As the Inspector General Stuart Bowen used the example of Syria's reconstruction of how this agency would prove effective. "

    "It is impossible to know the cost but we know the magnitude of destruction in Syria. When establishing the Office of emergency operations, it will identify individual contractors and information technology system and how to manage funds and controls ...

    For the guarantee to avoid the fraud and waste and abuses that we have seen in Iraq. And through the appointment of the administrator of the Office of the President, the Justice Bureau will process was administered in Iraq by military officers or Government officials transferred from Office before completing any of the projects. "

    Herbst "follows not here specifically accused in Iraq. If the Office was to save an estimated $ 200 million in spending annually.

    The report outlines the component from 172 pages, nine years of questionable expenses and malpractice in efforts to rebuild Iraq. It also blamed this on the lack of planning, coordination, and control the widespread fraud of fragile and wastage.

    The report provided a lot of failures such as: many projects are not designed correctly, the funds allocated for specific uses were redirected to other projects, not the efforts of the defense and foreign ministries coordinated American and there wasn't a specific administrator, contracts should not ratify the sneaks through the cracks, the deals under the table and devoid of legality and to support the Iraqi people are led to the destruction of American reconstruction efforts.

    The failure of US forces to establish security before the start of the reconstruction efforts, has led to the failure of many projects. Herbst says "you must have sufficient security prior to engaging in reconstruction activities. It has cost us billions of dollars and too many lives. "
