Afghan contractor blamed as police stations in Afghanistan risk collapse
A watchdog report says Basirat Construction Firm in Afghanistan used low quality materials, faulty roofing and plumbing on six police stations in Helmand and Kandahar, with the Army Corps of Engineers cited for poor oversight and payment of nearly $5 million. The firm faces repair liabilities around $1 million while most funds have already been received.
