U.S.-funded Afghan poLICE payroll at risk of waste and abuse: watchdog

The United States is spending more than $300 million a year on Afghan police officer salaries despite a significant risk that the funds are being wasted and abused, a U.S. government watchdog said on Monday.

In an audit of Afghan National Police (ANP) salaries, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction (SIGAR), said police rosters were inflated, staff were overpaid and payments were made to more employees than were authorized.

It said the organizations responsible for verifying police data - the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the multi-national Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A) - had not properly scrutinized figures provided by Afghanistan's interior ministry (MOI).

"Officials confirmed that over the past year they accepted, without question, all personnel totals provided by the MOI," SIGAR said.
