Afghanistan’s system for paying its police force has a “significant risk of fraud, waste and abuse” and may be paying non-existent personnel, according to a new audit.
About $1.2 billion has been disbursed since 2002 to the Afghanistan Interior Ministry from a United Nations-managed Law and Order Trust Fund. The money for the police comes from Canadian, Japanese and European donations.
