1:35 pm
afghanistan attracts war investors like sound business money 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 s.u.v.s in the streets. this. form. the anticorruption deputy this sudden wealth is only the fruit of order 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 and all those who count in capital are attending. church wanted to. be tastefully only proof if these people are the richest people believe will pull

his ex's shook up they're not welcome here. let's just show this is how internationally it is manifest it's catastrophic. said field only does the money end up. in the pockets of those close to power the deputies the senate is ministers business into doing heads of engineers of the united nations department heads who goes beyond risk of wasted food or the jury is merely skillful by a french american english taxpayer. to see one who thought he was playing for the construction of roads of electric facility if the school will miss that or the money went into the pockets of the government and the behind sells the luxury hotel to tell you. how it thinks you can see with your own eyes how your money is wasted on the americans the french people they usually see. what do you see because they are the political
1:37 pm
money if simple as that was that if you'll give them a list if you can see what they could. you know in 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 the first contracts went to american companies and that some funds were misappropriated. for instance the us a texas based company to provide security for road construction sites is being sued
1:38 pm
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.b. i mercenaries. they say that they were trapped by the f.b.i. so what do you mean. that they. investigated crossing. they in the same so crossing by line is these are personal and. corruption is largely endemic to the reconstruction sector. unscrupulous subcontractors sell contracts to each other. they take
1:39 pm
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 struction project to an afghan company they become partners and they want their share. they request a commission for each job as if you. can represent up to thirty percent of the budget if you don't pay you don't get the contract. this year. that's why the quality of materials is so bad here and efficient all the people who work in this field just use poor quality products really tricky in this and they say they're going to use turkish french or german products whole but they don't you. know the materials come from pakistan everyone knows that look at the us that's why you see so many buildings schools bridges and roads falling apart so that. woman has
1:40 pm
noticed the poor quality of buildings on 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 had along. with . they were using low quality sand for the cement to build the walls of and also the walls were crumbling. we requested that they stop using this type of sand but they didn't take our request into consideration that your link they ignored our request why it was among them because they have friends in high places. that allow them. to cut it i bet if you and i have to publicly declare that if see you show me one building i repeat just one building that was built correctly clinic the. school
1:41 pm
. see almost surely one job was completed all the way it was supposed to be this record is breaking international norms how quick all of this. for afghans the best example is the cane or come the hospital. the building is located in a working class suburb of company it serves one point five million people. you see because of fun to do. this but it is so dull you can see everything is destroyed for us ac outside years ago thanks to a gift from the international community the hospital was renovated and a new wing out of this building is not working speciated the second story today it is falling apart. you can see everything is this retro but.
1:42 pm
the toilets and bathrooms are closed up because of leaks they're currently being used to store broken furniture or case specifically because this show is now sleeping a lot as he goes. by that just because he i don't want to tell this story when the company if we used to tap there then it really destroyed the first story the first thing the roof of the other. building because of the earliest make up off of us ok there was there used to be this some food is the two of us this is the first second or third of the body and if we use the top it will leak to the first floor you see that's where it leads. you to be. as you see it's all become ization systems problem. is they are leaks the story is that back. to your seat is the low
1:43 pm
quality tells that they have to be used if it is it's and destruction the strike. is. the tiles are broken the electrical outlets hang from they're chasing us. 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 not away. first the united nations agency that hands out the project withdraws a two hundred seventy thousand dollar operating expense commission. that leaves one point nine million. this money is allocated to an italian n g o that will supervise the work the n.c.o.
1:44 pm
keeps one million dollars to buy wash balls 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 especially for a worn down building. who is responsible italian angio for the afghan subcontractor. the prosecutor's office in kabul has launched an investigation to answer that question. and italian n.-g. o. initial goodwill accepted to meet with us.
1:45 pm
interests us headquarters are in rome they have not been back to come. it's. sick. the water is leaking in since we couldn't prove it because we didn't have the equipment we did what we could. the tiles are broken but that happens but i still can't understand this here. still the fact that it's still running amazes me i was sure that it was closed because. he is the head of interest are you not oversee the hospital building site himself his n.g.o.s specializes in mine clearance. didn't do anything 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 see
1:46 pm
it was great you did a good job the report was written by specialists at least from the afghan government no no no from you know international technicians they should. be and that's what i'm saying so if you see this just something that's not right. and this is the field engineer who is in charge of operations he claims a lack of maintenance of the building on other things. like someone and they have to make and if something looks. nothing nothing it's not the it's an old radio not of years old it's a pretty no no no. no no no again we're going back to the reality this is the proper was built by you this is this part here so
1:47 pm
this part all destroyed this way it was built. by us a contractor four years ago which is we're going to use and you can see it's falling down it's very bad cement but this this year is a mess this is for the. that's of the extent of. the structures and of the saving. there is no all that should foley let us know let us see. this time you think of the truth of 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 company and no damages were reported in kabul. for afghan authorities the explanation is for 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 to
1:48 pm
teachers from a distant province side if other many would yes it's the government he took the teachers' salaries. yes six thousand dollars. at the prosecutor's request control commission started looking into the n.g.o.s books. i mean they are policy controllers of the law they came across lots of expenses that have nothing to do with the hospitals he's refusing to say that well you know most about everything then let's offer me. the prosecutor keeps invoices of the ngos operating expenses in this plastic bank for him they're simply too high . it's a trick this is the whole communications network. expansion that salaries computers travel furniture television at rugs for their offices these days we cannot allocate those expenses to be original budget for the reconstruction in these items cannot
1:49 pm
be considered part of their mission not all doubt whether any of it but for the heads of interest their normal operating costs for a western in geo of course he never approach if you do do will ensure there is a complete over that. the so-called supporting costs those who spotted their communication causes the peak ups for the material there are still a few computers it's own it's obviously a person pager of the all supporting suspended n.g.o.s should. and should use it to to the poor. is enormous for citizenry. afghan authorities are also surprised by the high cost of materials imported from italy. the ag needed they said they had to buy materials in italy kicking up windows and i saw the lamps in pakistan water closets bathtubs in italy was all i needed to get him myself all this while the markets in afghanistan who filled with that hard line
1:50 pm
italy never as bad as it should have potable who is its own economically can go to italy to bring some w.c. members this really was impossible to find anybody who cares they have noticed and we have no bank. it will come from easily with the money in their pocket to get to pay the there was no no one bank in the area they needed. interviewed. finally and that's the main problem the afghan subcontractor that performed nine hundred thousand dollars worth of work simply vanished. a little in the last war that ecowas the company never existed as well it doesn't have an address where little children the cool president of the motion. this company which is called actually rehabilitation is not likely isolated as suffer as the so how can they make so much money. we have just. apparently the subcontractor seems to overbuild some services like the demolition of an old
1:51 pm
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 has fled committed secure residual surprises me. is that you continue to trust the subcontractors like the bandit we are various of all the very secret for it was a great it straight really. great man and they were good because of their work and there is the school to know what they were nuts and they're capable of giving the name of the guy who built the ospital you look so contrite am i not capable of giving me still for longer for example which is normal was provided to the attorney general was unable to find in the position to be this home how we could truck with a mobile a phone and he was a thinking man this last scene and there is a beer. truck is full yet this is worth it even if he can only
1:52 pm
believe. then a few months after this interview tonight it nations launched an investigation against the american official from un o.p.'s good supervise the hospital budget apparently get embezzled no less than five hundred thousand dollars. so how can you not be disappointed but you know when the world asked us for help against the soviets and we were there. we have made so many sacrifices for us with these countries they came to help afghanistan reconstruct itself so they said unfortunately and stead of that is what we faced with loss but it is almost as all . trust towards the reconstruction sector 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
1:53 pm
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. if . there are two thousand three hundred fifty five n.g.o.s you never get i stop the majority ninety percent a local. one thousand nine hundred and thirty five outright leaves which openly waste the phones that they are allocating the public funds that internationally your people tell us and. us from people seventy percent of their budget is spent on logistics mystic cooks is it buddy guy that comes over to. we requested was these to just be clipped the film which will decide which issue phyllis's i found only three hundred twenty to be honest see on shas if we're on
1:54 pm
the corrupt to the thieves to. give you the honest organization a chance to would do e.g. . bashardost 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's i'm a little bit 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 afghanistan means one meal per day and learning how to read and write. stasiak means a much bigger on the market which is made up i used to look at other children going
1:55 pm
to school and i'd be frustrated i'm jealous but right now i'm doing myself i feel better. why. oh in problems from your 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 and earning drugs and learning to regionalize are who was a star of america christy. chaos and corruption of the taliban's best allies. creasing number of afghans are regretting also not openly the islamists iron hand. under the taliban you didn't see such high levels of corruption go well you did come up when some newly candidates today it's become a widespread system systems that are most of the seats true we didn't always argue with their politics but when it came to economics there was less corruption and we
1:56 pm
had fewer problems. 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.
1:57 pm
touches that so much of the taxpayers' money i mean hundreds of years of a real mystery. which we need to use the word west is a place a state of mind or even a specific time in history. wealthy british style. home . market try not to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report. home
