a childhood friend of president karzai. a few months ago in september two thousand and eight the commission was dissolved when something went very wrong this was. such a selfish. empty. sort of. people. if you'll give me just i had some phones heartlands for people to be calling in a case date or did see something going on in the by me asking people for pride and where is the telephone line ensued cooldowns me this is a number that ritter numbers which we have a matter of mary production. cases to the fabs which is not shared see. oddly enough the commission never investigated the sheer poor district. this all those polls is is. only.

majority of the cook fish which has seen cows this was a park and has been built by people to the majority of the people all the people they were there working in that demonstration office. say that because it is that they were the generator it was. probably. your body our duty to show the poor and us off to them touching it and just making it like. a skid put out of it. the chief untouchable had to leave his post precipitously. according to the american press was sci fi spent three years in jail in the united states because of some shady business. see the receipt for jury duty. in the process again if i don't talk out by the. hour and you are about france i'm going to work it's. a moment ago drug in the water

that's the minute i'm about this question once upon a time when i was in america nineteen could say eighty four eighty five i learned on vacation with some friends and other people but there was not a drug trafficking or drug selling what i wanted there is were some friends together and some accident happened just in the las vegas of course for about integration they were in for some party then that is it i read the case and. in fact mr was he had the bad idea of selling six hundred fifty grams of heroin to an undercover f.b.i. agent. and for you if you want to make it to make sure there were a good video for sofas them speak as much as you can if this is the case somebody accidentally happened to is that some and eve careful about. what is given us that

he has done nothing and then he cannot work for his nation. it is estimated that four billion dollars circulating in the country's economy come from heroin trafficking. another four billion comes from international aid. this massive influx of money has triggered the arrival of bold speculators. afghanistan attracts war investors like sound business men that has made a fortune in the emirates. they're building these gilded shopping malls hoping to take advantage of the country's simmering opulence. a tell tale sign hundreds of brand new has u.v.'s in the streets. just. for by. the anticorruption deputy this sudden wealth is only the fruit to. prove his point he takes us somewhere to lunch. this is not an s.u.v. dealership it is a banquet organized in the owner of

a member of parliament who was assassinated all those who count in kabul are attending want to. go to go. to that beatrice was illegal if these people are the richest people will pull his have axes so but they're not welcome here. just show this is how international aid is managed it's catastrophic just. said you don't know where does the money end up . in the pockets of those close to power the deputies the senate is ministers business is doing his job engineer of the united nations department heads still goes beyond this scope waste of food or meal is cleared for by a french american english taxpayer. the same one who thought he was playing for the construction of roads of electric facilities schools. said to

the money went into the pockets of the government in the behind sales the luxury hotel motel do. go away if you can see with your nice how your money is wasted on the americans pacific people they usually see. what you are you see because they are there well that your money. is that if you gave them up this is your country they would be kids. you know all fairness international aid has succeeded in many sectors. in health for instance the french alliance for children and the aga khan foundation have financed medical equipment that compared to what can be found in europe. even if the price of certain services like scanners are out of reach of many afghans. as for the americans they have built hundreds of kilometers of roads in record time.

although it must be said that the first contracts went to american companies and that some funds were misappropriated. for instance the us money on a texas based company that provides security for road construction sites is being sued by the american government for forging invoices. a u.s. p.-i employee is accused of issuing false invoices for gas employees and current according to an f.b.i. investigation american taxpayers paid three million dollars for two years for services that were never rendered for managers of the company have been detained. met in film of the hidden camera u.s. p.-i mercenaries they say that they were trapped by the f.b.i. . these. investigated. in the state so.

these are personal that. corruption is largely endemic to the reconstruction sector. unscrupulous subcontractors sell contracts to each other. they take a commission for the sale and this leads to the reduction of the original budget. an employee for a construction company has accepted to describe the scheme under conditions of anonymity. when foreigners hand out a construction project to an afghan company they become partners and they want their share. they request a commission for each job now they can represent up to thirty percent of the budget if you don't pay you don't get the contract. that's why the quality of materials is so bad here. all the people who work in this field used poor quality products

really to keep you know they say they're going to use turkish french or german products but they don't you. know the materials come from pakistan everyone knows that that's why you see so many building schools bridges and roads falling apart so that. moment has noticed the poor quality of buildings and more than one occasion part of. his job is to control the quality of construction for the government has seen lots of substandard buildings but when he tried to denounce a shady company he hit a wall. they were using low quality sand for the cement to build the walls also the walls were crumbling. we requested that they stop using this type of sand didn't take our request into consideration they ignored our request. because they have friends in

high places. over the. party i bet if you and i have seen publicly declared that if you show me one building i repeat just one building that was built correctly clinic the. school. see almost. surely one was completed the way it was supposed to be this with respect to international norms. for afghans the best example is the cane to come the hospital. the building is located in a working class suburb of compost it serves one point five million people. you see because i wanted a good quality of this building is so you can see everything is destroyed for us a.c.'s five years ago thanks to

a gift from the international community hospitals renovated and a new wing added this building is not working speciated the second stores today it is falling apart. you can see everything is there so i thought that. the toilets and bathrooms are closed because of leaks they're currently being used to store broken furniture or cases if you think because the shadows is really the law gives you a dose. of it just so you can see there watch the top this. way to help me if we used to tap hair then it is destroyed the first story the first of the roof of the building because of the earliest make up for that yes. there was there used to be this some food you still to this is this is the for a second tour of the road and if we use the top it will leak to the first floor you

see that's where it leaks. you voted for. as you see it's all the coalition systems from. zero to sixty are leaks the story is that back. as you see it is the low quality of the day have to be used if it is it's in destruction the strike. is. the tiles are broken the electrical outlets reading from their cases. as you see as the operation you can see. you can see right through. we have studied the hospital's reconstruction budget. total budget is two point two million dollars millions that will soon melt away. first the united nations

agency that hands out the project withdraws a two hundred seventy thousand dollars operating expense commission. that leaves one point nine million this money is allocated to an italian n.-g. o. that will supervise the work in-joke keeps one million dollars to buy wash wells electrical wire and washtubs. it pays nine hundred thousand dollars to an afghan company that will carry out the actual job. two million dollars is a staggering amount for afghanistan. as a point of comparison how much does it cost to build a palace in the ship or district. altogether four hundred thousand dollars. yet two million dollars will be spent to renovate an old building and add a new wing. a lot of money for the afghans to specially for a worn down building. who is responsible italian n.-g. o.

the afghan subcontractor. the prosecutor's office in kabul has launched an investigation to answer that question. did tell you an ngo in a show goodwill accepted to meet with us. intercepts headquarters are in rome they have not been back to kabul. the water is leaking in it's we couldn't waterproof it because we didn't have the equipment we did what we could. the tiles are broken but that happens but i still can understand if you're. still the fact that it's still running amazes me i was sure that it was closed. he is the head of interest he did not oversee the hospital building site himself his n.g.o.s specializes in mine clearance.

going in two thousand to afghanistan was a rough place and no companies were capable of rebuilding the hospital so we accepted the job when i saw the report describing the final results oh i could say it was great you did a good job the report was generally written by specialists at least from the afghan government no no no from you know international technicians. and that's what i'm saying so to see this this something that's not right. but this is the field engineer who was in charge of operations he claims a lack of maintenance of the building among other things. like this and one that they have to make and if they want to look to the book.

that's not enough to know it's not that it's a. it's a pretty no no no. no no no again we're going back to the reality this is the part that was built by you this is this part here so this part all destroyed this where it was built by your subcontractor four years ago. and you can see it's falling down and it's very bad cement but this is a mess this is for the. that's of the extent of. the stress this enough to say. there is no oil that should fold but you have never never seen. this time you think there's a that's the truth to her story. there was a major earthquake in two thousand and four in afghanistan but it's epicenter was three hundred kilometers away from the competition and no damages were reported in

kabul. for afghan authorities the explanation is far more trivial the hospital is falling apart because of poor quality materials for use. the investigating prosecutor is one of the few officials genuinely fighting against corruption. on the morning we met him he was trying to get back salaries owed to teachers from a distant province side yes it's the government he told me teacher salaries. yes yes six thousand dollars. at the prosecutor's request a control commission started looking into the n.g.o.s books. i mean. quality control as. they came across a lot of expenses that had nothing to do with the hospital. about everything. the prosecutor keeps invoices of the ngos operating expenses in this plastic bank for him there are simply too high. since it too does the

whole communications network. expansion that salaries computers travel furniture television at rugs for their offices in addition we can all allocate those expenses to the original budget for the reconstruction in these items cannot be considered part of their mission by rolled out why the need for the heads of interest their normal operating costs for a western ngo of course he never be productive if you do that will ensure there is a complete over that state. the so called supporting course but it's their communication goes there because for the material there are so few computers a song that obviously a percentage of the all to see is founded on a geo should it should if you should use it to do war. just as you can only five percent is ok. afghan authorities are also surprised by the high cost of materials

imported from italy. the admitting they said they had to ban a tiriel in italy kicking up windows and it's not the lamps in pakistan water closet bottle tops in italy it was all i did it in myself all this while the markets in afghanistan a field with that hard line italy have on us that is just a political group who is its own economically to go to italy to bring some w.c. this is merely was impossible to free and very low value as they have gotten we have no bank. people from italy with their money in their pocket this will be to pay the there was no no when banks. are in trouble. finally and that's the main problem the afghan subcontractor that performed on hundred thousand dollars worth of work simply vanished. must have been in italy or that ecowas the company never existed as well it doesn't have an address little child he would have said it all when i was able to join it at this company which is

called rehabilitation it's not like a certain age has suffered so how can they make so much money. he. apparently the subcontractor seems to overbuild some services like the demolition of an old building for eighty thousand dollars. that's three times the regular amount but the italian in geo continues to side with the afghan contractor even though it is fled don't secure receipts which surprises. me is that you continue to trust a subcontractor who acted like a bandit. very simply for it was a straight suit so they're really. correct men and were good because of their work and. know what they were nuts and they're not capable of giving the name of the guy who built the ospital you look so contracted in are not capable of giving

me skill for longer for example which if number was provided to the attorney general or was unable to find in the prosecutors though the the home how could a truck with a mobile phone and he was a thinking man's there's last seen and they disappear the truck is full yet this is what it. can only believe. then a few months after this interview tonight it nations launched an investigation against the american official from un o.p.'s who had supervised the hospital budget apparently he had embezzled no less than five hundred thousand dollars. so how can you not be disappointed when the world asked us for help against the soviets we were there. and we have made so many sacrifices for us with these countries they came to help afghanistan reconstruct itself so they said unfortunately instead of that is what we faced with loss but it is almost as

a. trust towards the reconstruction sector it is dwindling within the afghan population. expatriates are now synonymous with overblown salaries. and afghan n.g.o.s are suspected of running shady operations. when he was planning minister basho those confirmed that these operations were dishonest after investigating these n.g.o.s he requested that eight out of ten be closed. there are two thousand three hundred and fifty five n.g.o.s in every guy stuff people so majority ninety percent a local. one thousand nine hundred and thirty five outright leaves which openly waste the fountains that they are allocating public funds internationally. plus from seventy percent of their budget is spent on logistics to stick cooks busy

body that comes out of a two. we requested was that the n.g.o.s be clips film which will decide which is usually found only three hundred twenty to be honest see on show us if we kick out the corrupt to the thieves to. give you the honest organizations a chance to work the e.g. . special post was never able to carry out his plan. he had to resign from the government after his proposition. among the few n.g.o.s that had the approval of the minister was afghanistan them out of afghanistan tomorrow a school run by a french afghan national. geo budget is ridiculously low but it provides an education to five hundred street kids that never went to school. for

these children and afghanistan means one meal per day and learning how to read and write. stores have to give me the mark they got on the market which is made up i used to look at other children going to school and i'd be frustrated i'm jealous now that i'm going myself i feel better . lack. oh in financial year i had to work because my father could not provide for the family i didn't have a choice i do it all year i feel much better now that i come to the center it's an earnings drugs i'm learning to regional lighter who was a star of the moment that you are gifted. chaos and corruption of the taliban's best allies. and increasing number of afghans are regretting although not openly the islamists iron hand.

under the taliban you didn't see such high levels of corruption go well you did come up to duke went to sit in the newly if you notice today it's become a widespread system systems that i'm under sort of it's true we didn't always argue with their politics but when it came to economics there was less corruption and we had fewer problems it was for them. in two thousand and one it took only a few weeks to house the taliban from kabul. but already instant mortality and violence still remains. how can one be surprised that eight years later the taliban are coming back.

and the moment the coup the latest in science and technology from the ground force and. we've got the future of covered.

it.

all.
