Lahore: The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday said a former Inspector General of Police Khyber Pakhtunkhwa embezzled funds provided by international community to battle terror.
American and Australian government granted Rs 35 million to police for peace initiatives through mediation, reconciliation, alternative dispute resolution and de-radicalization which were wasted, said Dr Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
He said that third-party independent evaluation ordered by USAID and AUSAID revealed that nothing was done on ground and all documents regarding activities and expanses were bogus.
All the record presented before the auditors was found fabricated which failed the initiative to reduce crimes and disputes in the target areas thus misappropriating the money of American and Australian tax-payers, he said.
Dr Murtaza Mughal said that NGOs involved in the deal were blacklisted while no action could be initiated against the police official who enjoyed full backing of the ANP.
A lot of damage to life and property of masses and security forces could have been averted if the money earmarked for reconciliation was not siphoned off, he said.
Dr Murtaza Mughal said that no action has been initiated against the culprit despite the fact that ANP is no longer in the power which is increasing mistrust among foreign donors.
