Inquiry Letter: CSTC-A Response to Afghan National Police (ANP) Patrol Boat Inquiry

Abstract

Thank you for your response to our April 24, 2014 request for information on the $3 million procurement of patrol boats for the Afghan National Police. I am grateful for the efforts you made to try to answer our questions and your prompt reply was greatly appreciated. I continue to have concerns, however, because CSTC-A was unable to answer a significant number of my questions regarding the patrol boats. The list of unanswered questions is particularly troubling given the fact--which CSTC-A acknowledges--that this program had been an important national security priority for the Afghan National Security Forces prior to its cancellation. This is not the first time SIGAR has been confronted with lapses in record keeping, which hinder our ability to conduct our congressionally-mandated mission to oversee U.S. reconstruction funds. In this case, the lack of records makes it especially difficult to discern the history of the procurement and cancellation decisions.
