[Tolo News] Some of the money donated by international community to Afghanistan goes to the Taliban through contracts, Afghanistan's High Office of Oversight and Anti-corruption said on Tuesday.Speaking to TOLOnews on Tuesday, Head of the High Office of Oversight and Anti-corruption Azizullah Ludin expressed concern stressing the need to monitor foreign contracts in Afghanistan.
After the US and Afghan governments expressed concern about the issue, the High Office of Oversight and Anti-corruption urged the Afghan government to closely monitor contracts signed by donor countries.
Mr Ludin says all the details related to the foreign contracts signed in the country should be clear to the Afghan government.
As an example, he hints to a road construction project in Pashtun-infested Logar province for which the Taliban are also said to have received some money.
"There was a road construction project in Pashtun-infested Logar in which something seemed to have gone wrong. We investigated and put pressure on the one in charge of the project. He finally admitted that he had given some of the project money to the Taliban," Mr Ludin said.
Concerns have previously been raised in the US about the way US taxpayer money is being spent in Afghanistan.
It was also believed that $55bn of Washington's aid to Afghanistan had not been spent in the right way.
