$1 M
loss from foreign organization withdrawal from Duhok
residential project
June 26, 2007
Duhok, Kurdistan region (Iraq), -- A foreign
organization caused a one million U.S. dollar loss
to Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) after
withdrawing from a project to build a village, which
was assigned to it in 2004, a source from Duhok's
municipal council said on Sunday.
"As a result of the withdrawal of Mission East, a
U.S. organization, from a project to build Bosla
village, the KRG suffered a huge financial loss of
$1 million dollars, including construction materials
and workers' fees," Hamid Ahmed Saleh from the
council said.
"Without notifying or coordinating with the local
administration, the organization agreed with a
number of residents to built 300 residential houses
in Bosla village… Due to the insufficiency of its
budget, the organization asked the administration
for help," Saleh explained.
"After studying the project, the number of
residential houses was reduced to 150. Local
residents rejected this reduction, which led the
organization to leave the project, causing massive
losses to the regional government," Saleh indicated.
When asked about damages from the organization,
Saleh said that the organization "apologized for
this unintended mistake," noting that the regional
government did not sue it for compensation
