anti-drug official never attempted to find out how those quick fortunes were made. so who could do it. why not the anti-corruption commission. it was led by 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 but this was . such

a selfish. empty. so basically people. feel in him it just i had some photos heartland sell for people to be calling in a case did fail or they see something going on that if i'm asking people for pride and lose the telephone good job it's like ensued cooldowns me. as a member of my creditor numbers which we have an imaginary production for which the case is to the fabs which is nigeria see. oddly enough the commission never investigated the ship or district. you must take this all those days so says it is. very serious. charges that the fish was because since i was. it was there for and it's been built by the people the majority of people are the people they're working in the

insertion office and luciana said. that the circus is that they were the generator who was. proclaiming that it is your body that our newt should be poorer than he was offering them trashing it in just making it like. a skid without a fit. and the chief untouchable had to leave his post precipitously. according to the american press was if he spent three years in jail in the united states because of some shady business. you see there is you're really risk for jury duty. again if i had an attack of either america or anyone any of our friends anywhere else. in a moment ago during the quarter that cyber terrorists are going to tell me about this question once upon a time when i was in america nineteen could say eighty four eighty five

islander vacation with some friends other people but there was not a trafficking or drug setting but i think there is were some friends together some apps that are happening that is the last vegas of course provided interation the one for some party. does that isn't it. in fact mr y. c.c. had the benefit of selling six hundred fifty grams of heroin to an undercover f.b.i. agent. and for you if you are making a very good video for your sofas and speak as much as you can if this is the case somebody accident happened. and he gave careful about. what is given us that he is going to miss thing and then he cannot work for his nation. it is estimated that four billion dollars circulating in the economy country's. may come from heroin trafficking. another four billion comes from internationally.

this massive influx of money has triggered the arrival of both speculators. afghanistan attracts war investors excel businessmen 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. telltale sign hundreds of brand new s.u.v.s in the streets. for. the anti-corruption deputy this sudden wealth is only the fruit analogy was going 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 although some count in campbell are attending want to cheer going to.

be cases of. these people all the richest people. poor does have axes sort of in a wealthy way it. just shows this is how international aid is managed it's catastrophic. said to the only way does the money end up. in the focus of. the deputies the senate is this just business it is doing heads of n.g.o.s united nations department heads took us pos wisco waste of food. meal is killed by a french american english textbook. the same one he thought he was playing for the construction of roads electric facilities it's a school. that's where the money went into the pockets of the government and to be hotels a luxury hotel to tell you. the way in which you can see with your nice how your money is wasted by something americans

specifically but they usually see. what you feel you see because they are there with your political money and it will simple as that was. to sell to you give them a list if you can see would be kids. in all fairness international aid has succeeded in many sectors. in health for instance the french alliance for children and the aga khan foundation the finest medical equipment but 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 u.s.b. 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.b. i employee is accused of issuing false invoices for gas and oil use and car rentals 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 with a hidden camera u.s.b. i mercenaries they say that they were trapped by the f.b.i. . you mean. that it was a. if. in this to get across. they in the seeds of crossing the line is these are personal and the. 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 as if you. can represent up to thirty percent of the budget was if you don't pay you don't get a contract. this year. 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 interest in what they say they're going to use turkish french or german products whole but they don't. know the materials come from pakistan everyone knows that to

the u.s. and that's why you see so many building schools bridges and roads falling apart so that the. woman has 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 a lot. of 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 or i think didn't take our request into consideration are you willing they ignored our request why i was among them because they have friends in high places. the most of what i tell them over the sellout is. pretty i bet if you and i have seen publicly to clear that if see you show me one building i repeat just one building that was

built correctly clinic the. school is it could see almost surely one job it was completed all the way it was supposed to be this with respect to international norms. politics. to philip. for afghans the best example is the cave become a hospital. the building is located in a working class suburb of kabul it serves one point five million people. you see because the day before this building is so you can see everything is the side for us a.c.'s five years ago thanks to a gift from the international community. after this building's not working speciated the secrets photos today it is falling apart or so yards you can see everything is this right over there.

the toilets and bathrooms are closed because of leaks they're currently being used to store broken furniture or cases it is because the show this is nothing new a lot if he goes. public just because he there watch the tough this little fake way to fight off if we used to cut hair then at the destroyed the first story the first of the roof of the. building because of the earliest make up north of us. there was there used to be this some food just the two of those this is the for a second assert their building if we used it out it will lead to the first floor you see that's where it leads. you to.

as you see it's all the coalition systems. this is the are leaks this is about back. as your seat is the low quality tells it to have it be used if it is it's a new structure of the site. is. the tiles are broken the electrical outlets hang from their cases. with it as you see it is the operation and you can see all of that was of the stride. you can see right through. we have studied the hospitals reconstruction budget. total budget is two point two million dollars million is that we'll soon know to when. first the united nations aid. unseeded 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. in-joke 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 but the afghan subcontractor. the prosecutor's office in kabul has launched an investigation to

answer that question. the italian n.g.o.s to show goodwill accepted to meet with us . intercepts headquarters are in rome they have not been back to kabul. which is leaking is since they couldn't go to prove it because we didn't have the equipment we did what we could. the tiles are broken but that happens but i still. is. still the fact that it's still running amazement i was sure that it was closed as it. is the head of interest did not oversee the hospital building site himself his n.g.o.s specializes in mine clearance. did in two thousand to have can i stand 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 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. and that's what i'm saying so if you see this is this something that's not right. this is the field engineer who was in charge of operations he claims a lack of maintenance of the building but among other things. this is like someone and they have to make and if they don't follow the book. that's nothing nothing but it's not that it's supposedly we're not here is old it's a it's a pretty no we're going to know that. no no no again we're going

back to the reality this is the part that was built by you this is these parts here so this part will destroy these what was built. by your subcontractor four years ago which is a communication and you can see it's falling down and it's very. that this sort of this year is a myth the seventh use for the computer the fixed. cost structure it's not the same and. there is no all that should fall like this but you have never never seen. because time you think there's a stiff price or sort of. there was a major earthquake in two thousand and four in afghanistan but it's epicenter was three hundred kilometers away from the conflict and no damages were reported in a couple. 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 to teachers from a distant province to say that yes it's the government he told me teacher salaries . yes six thousand dollars. at the prosecutor's request the control commission started looking into the n.g.o.s books . he added i mean there are new policy controllers one of the other came across lots of expenses that have nothing to do with the hospital he reaches except that while you most about an opening there. the prosecutor keeps invoices of the n.g.o.s operating expenses in this plastic bank for him there are simply too high. the physics of this the whole communications network. expansion that salaries computers travel furniture television rugs for their offices we can allocate those

expenses to be original budget for the reconstruction indeed these items cannot be considered part of their mission but all doubt whether any of it but for the heads of interest and their normal operating costs for a western ngo of course in every project that we do that all n.g.o.s do there is a complete over. the so-called supporting. party it's their communication courses their pickups for the material there are so few computers it's not so obviously a person pager of the all or to see it should. and should use it to do with the war but as you know me if i ever say it is a. afghan authorities are also surprised by the high cost of materials imported from italy. the agni did they said they had to planetariums in italy kicking up windows and that's how the lamps in pakistan water closets bathtubs in

italy was off i did it in my salon all this while the markets in afghanistan who filled with the cheese are that why in italy never us that is the political group who is its own economically for good to italy to bring some w.c.s. members this deal was impossible to free and very low fares they have gotten we have no bank. people come from italy with the money in their pocket to get to pay the there was no no one bank in the. interval. finally and that's the main problem the afghan subcontractor that performed nine hundred thousand dollars worth of work simply vanished. for my stuff all that i can was the company never existed as well it doesn't have an address my mother told you i said i would. get it this company which is called actually rehabilitation is not likely isolating this stuff that i just so how can i make so much money i thought the. currently 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 flood committed secure visit which surprises me is that you continue to trust the subcontractors like a bandit a really brilliant move all the very least seaford from it was a credit to shreds so they're really. great men and they were good because they were doing there is no way they were nuts and there are lots capable of giving the name of the guy who built the ospital you so contracted in are not capable of giving me skill for longer for example which is a number was provided to the. i was unable to find in a position to be this home holy couldn't truck would be moved by

a phone and he was a thinking man's there's last see see and there is a beer in a truck is full yet this is worth it to know that i. can only believe. then a few months after this interview united nations launched an investigation against the american official from un o.p.'s who had supervised the hospital budget apparently killed 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 right at the lower these countries they came to help afghanistan reconstruct itself so they said unfortunately and stead of that is what we faced with loss but as your. 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 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 fifty five n.g.o.s in every i stop the majority ninety percent a local. one thousand nine hundred thirty five outright thieves which openly waste the phones that they are allocating loves the public funds internationally your people. talk. to us from the seventy percent of their budget is spent on logistics. we stick cooks because it. comes to. we request it was the easiest best n.g.o.s be clicked the film which will d'souza

which if you feel this is the only flood are going to be honest see all the shots if we kick out the corrupt to the thieves to the to. it will give you the honest organization a chance to work through e.g. how i feel. 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 have the approval of the minister was afghanistan them a little bit afghanistan tomorrow a school run by a french afghan national. 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. stories that make me them

my you got all my activities made up i used to look at other children going to school and i'd be frustrated and jealous now that i'm going myself i feel that is going to last. oh empower them from here i had to look because my father cannot provide for the family my little brother and i didn't have a choice i had to look all your life feel it's better now that i come to the center i'm learning i'm learning to regional lighter who was the start of school he also make a good speech. 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 when you say newly it is today it's become

a widespread system systems of the underside of the conceits true we didn't always argue with their politics but when it came to economics there was less corruption and we had fewer problems this wasn't introduced. in two thousand and one it took only a few weeks to oust the taliban from kabul. but already inside more talent even violence still remains. how can one be surprised that eight years later that bring back.
