The latest 232-page quarterly report
of the Special Inspector General for
Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) contains a useful overview of US aid efforts
in the country, showing where more than $93 billion has been spent since 2002.
The report highlights the usual problems– new hospitals in
Gardez and Khair Khot that are unlikely to run for very long as their operating
budgets are five times the existing budget, or millions of dollars’ worth of
electrical equipment sitting around unused by the main power distribution
company – as well as a few that ought to have been sorted by now: the Afghan
National Security Forces still have no easy way of determining how many people
serve in the Army or police forces.
Yesterday in Washington, SIGAR boss John Sopko revealed that $50m stolen from the US government had disappeared from a Kabul bank vault, despite efforts to freeze the account. Sopko referred to the Afghan government in his speech as a "criminal patronage network".

SIGAR is doing a great job, but is anyone listening?

I could not have closed on my first home without Mr, Pedro ! Pedro and his team went above and beyond for me on this transaction. He handled my very tight turn around time with ease and was always available for me when I had questions (and I had plenty), even when he was away from the office, which I greatly appreciated! He and his team handled many last-minute scrambles with the seller and worked tirelessly to make sure that I could close before my lease (and my down payment assistance, for that matter) expired. Mr Pedro is an incredibly knowledgeable Loan Officer, courteous, and patient. I went through a couple offers on properties before my final purchase and Pedro was there to help with each one, often coordinating with my agent behind the scenes. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to Pedro and the tireless efforts of his team, I am now a proud homeowner! I would encourage you to consider Pedro and his loan company for any kind of loan.
