发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Pentagon spent $43 million on a compressed natural gas station in
Afghanistan that should have cost about $300,000, according to a special
inspector general report released Monday.
“One of the most troubling aspects of this project is that the Department
of Defense claims that it is unable to provide an explanation for the high
cost of the project or to answer any other questions concerning its planning
, implementation, or outcome,” Special Inspector General for Afghanistan
Reconstruction (SIGAR) John Sopko wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary
Ashton Carter accompanying the report.
The station in question was built in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, and was meant
to show Afghan citizens the viability of natural gas, according to the
report. The project, known as the Downstream Gas Utilization, was part of
the Task Force for Business & Stability Operations (TFBSO).
The original contract for the station was for $3 million, according to the
report.
But between 2011 and 2014, the task force spent $42.7 million on the project
, $30 million of which was for overhead costs, according to the report.
SIGAR found a similar natural gas station in Pakistan cost $500,000, which
would equal $306,000 at the current exchange rate.
“In short, at $43 million, the TFBSO filling station cost 140 times as much
as a CNG station in Pakistan,” the report says.
The task force ended in March. Because of that, the Pentagon told the
special inspector general it no longer had the personnel or documentation to
answer why the cost ballooned, according to the report.
The Pentagon did not dispute any facts or findings in a draft of the report,
according to the comments page of the report. | t*******y
