US Congressman Scott Perry has disclosed that the United States Agency for International Development funded many terrorist groups, including Boko Haram.
Scott Perry, who is a Republican representing Pennsylvania, made this claim during the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency.
The session, titled ‘The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud, focused on how taxpayers’ funds were misused.
Recall that US President Donald Trump had previously called for the closure of USAID, accusing the organization of corruption.
The Congressman could be heard in a video that has now gone viral, explaining how $697 million annually was used to fund terrorist training camps.
He could be heard saying,
“Who gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, terrorist training camps. That’s what it’s funding.
If you think that the programme under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women’s Scholarship Endowment, which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually, is going to women who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General’s report, is telling you that the Taliban does not allow women to speak in public, yet somehow you’re believing, and American people are supposed to believe, that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan.
It is not You are funding terrorism, and it’s coming through USAID. And it’s not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan’s right next door USAID spent $840 million in the last year, the last 20 years, on Pakistan’s education-related programme. It includes $136 million to build 120 schools, of which there is zero evidence that any of them were built. Why would there be any evidence? The Inspector General can’t get in to see them”
