The U.S.-based budget watchdog, Special Investigator General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), has claimed that a number of Afghan government Ministries have failed to report on their expenditures of U.S. aid.
SIGAR noted that despite the lack of accountability, the United States Agency for International Develoment (USAID) still provides funds to these Ministries.
The Afghan government has become increasingly forceful in its push to oversee all international aid expenditures, with President Hamid Karzai arguing most corruption and financial malfeasance has taken place within international institutions, not the Afghan government.
However, not many buy Karzai's line, as graff amongst local and national officials has become notorious, with new scandals and reports implicating Afghans in it coming out regularly.
"The main problem is that, unfortunately, Parliament can only oversee the government budget and hasn't done anything to oversee donor aid" MP Asadullah Sadati said.
On Friday, SIGAR also criticized USAID for promising over one billion dollars in direct aid to Afghanistan without ensuring the proper accountability measures are in place.
But USAID has said that SIGAR has only covered one side of the story and has not discussed the efforts of USAID for preventing aid wastage.
