Ukubuyekezwa okumangazayo kwangaphandle kuthola ukuthi i-Defence Logistics Agency ilahlekelwe umkhondo wokuthi iyisebenzise kuphi imali.
nguBryan Bender, February 5, 2018, I-Politico.
Enye yezinhlaka ezinkulu zePentagon ayikwazi ukusebenzisa imali ebiza amakhulu ezigidi zamaRandi, kusho inkampani ehamba phambili yamabhuku ezimali. ukucwaningwa kwamabhuku kwangaphakathi etholwe yiPOLITICO efika ngesikhathi uMongameli uDonald Trump ehlongoza ukunyuswa isabelomali sezempi.
U-Ernst & Young uthole ukuthi i-Defence Logistics Agency yehlulekile ukubhala kahle imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-800 zamaRandi kumaphrojekthi wokwakha, okukodwa nje kochungechunge lwezibonelo lapho ingenawo umkhondo wephepha wezigidi zamaRandi empahleni nasezinsizeni. Kuyo yonke ibhodi, ukuphathwa kwayo kwezimali kubuthakathaka kangangokuthi abaholi bayo nezigungu ezengamele abanayo indlela ethembekile yokulandelela izizumbulu zemali ebophezeleke kuzo, le nkampani ixwayise ocwaningweni lwayo lokuqala lwe-ejenti enkulu yokuthenga yePentagon.
Ukucwaningwa kwamabhuku kuphakamisa imibuzo emisha mayelana nokuthi uMnyango Wezokuvikela ungakwazi yini ukuphatha ngendlela efanele isabelomali sawo sonyaka esingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-700 - ingasaphathwa eyongeziwe yezigidigidi uTrump ahlela ukuyiphakamisa kule nyanga. Umnyango awukaze uhlolwe ngokugcwele naphezu kokugunyazwa yingqungquthela - kanti kwabanye abenzi bomthetho, isimo esimapeketwane sezincwadi ze-Defence Logistics Agency sibonisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ngeke kwenzeke.
"Uma ungeke ukwazi ukulandela imali, ngeke ukwazi ukwenza ucwaningo lwamabhuku," kusho uSen. Chuck Grassley, wase-Iowa Republican futhi oyilungu eliphezulu lamakomiti Esabelomali Nezezimali, ophoqe abaphathi ngokulandelana ukuthi bahlanze. ikhuphule uhlelo lokubalwa kwezimali lwePentagon oludume ngokumosha nokungahlelekile.
I-ejensi yezokuthutha engu-$40 billion ngonyaka iyi- icala lokuhlola kanjani kungenzeka ukuthi lowo msebenzi ungafezeki. I-DLA isebenza njenge-Walmart yamasosha, inabasebenzi abangu-25,000 abenza ama-oda alinganiselwa ku-100,000 ngosuku egameni leButho Lezempi, I-Navy, I-Air Force, i-Marine Corps kanye nenqwaba yezinye izinhlaka zikahulumeni - ngakho konke kusukela ezinkukhu kuya kwezemithi, izinsimbi eziyigugu. kanye nezingxenye zendiza.
Kodwa njengoba abacwaningi mabhuku bathola, le nhlangano ivamise ukuba nobufakazi obuncane obuqinile bokuthi iningi laleyo mali iya kuphi. Lokho kukhombisa ukuthi ngeke kube lula ukuthola isibambo sokusebenzisa imali eMnyangweni Wezokuvikela uwonke, okuhlangene Impahla engu-$2.2 trillion.
Kwenye ingxenye yocwaningomabhuku, olwaphothulwa maphakathi no-December, u-Ernst & Young bathola ukuthi amaphutha ezincwadini zale nhlangano afinyelela okungenani ku-$465 million. ngamaphrojekthi wokwakha eliwaxhase ngezimali i-Army Corps of Engineers nezinye izinhlaka. Kumaphrojekthi wokwakha aqokwe "njengasaqhubeka," okwamanje, ibingenawo amaphepha anele - nanoma yimiphi imibhalo nhlobo - enye imali eyizigidi ezingama- $384.
I-ejensi futhi ayikwazanga ukuveza ubufakazi obusekelayo bezinto eziningi ezibhalwe ngandlela thize - okuhlanganisa namarekhodi ezimpahla zenani lama- $ 100 wezigidi ezinhlelweni zamakhompiyutha aqhuba ibhizinisi le-ejensi yansuku zonke.
"Imibhalo, njengobufakazi obukhombisa ukuthi impahla ihloliwe futhi yamukelwa, ayigcinwa noma ayitholakali," kusho yena.
Umbiko, ohlanganisa unyaka wezimali ophele ngoSepthemba 30, 2016, uphinde wathola ukuthi amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-46 ezimpahleni zekhompiyutha "ayebhalwe ngokungafanele" njengeye-Defence Logistics Agency. Iphinde yaxwayisa ngokuthi i-ejensi ayikwazi ukuhlanganisa amabhalansi ebhukwini layo elijwayelekile kanye ne- UMnyango Wezezimali.
I-ejensi ibambelele ekutheni izonqoba izithiyo zayo eziningi ukuze ekugcineni ithole ukucwaninga kwamabhuku okuhlanzekile.
"Ucwaningomabhuku lokuqala lusinikeze umbono ozimele obalulekile wemisebenzi yethu yezezimali yamanje," kubhala uLt. General General Darrell Williams, umqondisi wale nhlangano, ephendula okutholwe ngu-Ernst & Young. "Sizibophezele ekuxazululeni ubuthakathaka bezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nokuqinisa izilawuli zangaphakathi mayelana nokusebenza kwe-DLA."
Esitatimendeni esiya kwa-POLITICO, le nhlangano iphinde yathi ayimangali ngeziphetho.
"I-DLA ingeyokuqala ngobukhulu nobunkimbinkimbi bayo eMnyangweni Wezokuvikela ukuthi ihlolwe ngakho-ke besingalindele ukuthola umbono wocwaningomabhuku 'ohlanzekile' emijikelezweni yokuqala," kuchaza. “Isihluthulelo siwukusebenzisa impendulo yomcwaningi mabhuku ukuze sigxile emizamweni yethu yokulungisa kanye nezinhlelo zokulungisa izinto, nokukhulisa inani elivela ekucwaningweni kwamabhuku. Yilokho esikwenzayo manje.”
Impela, abaphathi bakaTrump bagcizelela ukuthi bangakwazi ukufeza lokho ababengakwazi ngaphambili.
"Kusukela ngo-2018, ukuhlolwa kwethu kuzokwenzeka minyaka yonke, nemibiko ekhishwe ngoNovemba 15," isikhulu esiphezulu sesabelomali sePentagon, uDavid Norquist, sitshele iCongress ngenyanga edlule.
Lowo mzamo obanzi wePentagon, ozodinga ibutho labacwaningi mabhuku abangaba ngu-1,200 kuwo wonke umnyango, uzobiza - cishe cishe ibhiliyoni elilodwa lamaRandi.
UNorquist uthe kuzobiza imali elinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-367 zamaRandi ukwenza ucwaningo - okuhlanganisa nezindleko zokuqasha amafemu amabhuku azimele afana no-Ernst & Young - kanye nemali eyengeziwe engu-$551 million yokubuyela emuva iyolungisa izinhlelo zokubala eziphukile ezibalulekile ekuphathweni okungcono kwezimali.
"Kubalulekile ukuthi iCongress kanye nabantu baseMelika bathembele ekuphathweni kwe-DoD yawo wonke amadola abakhokhi bentela," kusho uNorquist.
Kodwa kunobufakazi obuncane bokuthi ingalo yezempi izokwazi ukulandisa ngalokho ekuchithile noma nini maduze.
"U-Ernst & Young abakwazanga ukuthola indaba eyanele, enobufakazi obunamandla bokusekela amanani abikiwe ngaphakathi kwezitatimende zezimali ze-DLA," umhloli jikelele we-Pentagon, inja yangaphakathi eyayala ukuthi kubuyekezwe ngaphandle, kuphetha ngokukhipha umbiko ku-DLA.
“Asikwazi ukunquma umthelela wokuntuleka kobufakazi obanele bokucwaningwa kwamabhuku ezitatimende zezimali ze-DLA sezizonke,” kuphetha umbiko wayo.
Umkhulumeli ka-Ernst & Young wenqabile ukuphendula imibuzo, ebhekisa iPOLITICO kuPentagon.
Grassley - owayengubani egxeka kakhulu lapho kwadingeka ukuthi kukhishwe umbono ohlanzekile wokucwaningwa kwamabhuku we-Marine Corps ngo-2015 ukuze uthole "iziphetho ezingamanga" - sekuphindelela. icala ukuthi “ukugcina umkhondo wemali yabantu kungase kungabi ku-DNA yePentagon.”
Usanokungabaza okujulile mayelana namathemba okuya phambili uma kubhekwa lokho okudalulwayo.
"Ngicabanga ukuthi amathuba okuba kube yimpumelelo ucwaningo lwe-DoD ezansi nomgwaqo aziro," kusho uGrassley engxoxweni. “Amasistimu okuphakelayo awakwazi ukuhlinzeka ngedatha. Bazohluleka ngaphambi kokuba baqale.”
Kodwa uthe uyaweseka umzamo oqhubekayo noma ngabe ukucwaningwa kwamabhuku okugcwele nokuhlanzekile kwePentagon kungeke kwenziwe. Kubhekwa kabanzi njengowukuphela kwendlela yokuthuthukisa ukuphathwa kwesamba esikhulu kangaka samadola abakhokhi bentela.
“Umbiko ngamunye wocwaningomabhuku uzosiza i-DLA yakhe isisekelo esingcono sokubika ngezezimali futhi unikeze igxathu eliholela ekutholeni umbono ohlanzekile womcwaningi-mabhuku wezitatimende zethu zezezimali,” kuqhuba le nhlangano. "Okutholakele kuphinde kuthuthukise izilawuli zethu zangaphakathi, okusiza ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yezindleko nedatha yezokuthutha esetshenziselwa ukwenza izinqumo."
