A bipartisan group “of four senators today called on President Barack Obama to fire the government watchdog responsible for investigating tax dollar misuse in Afghanistan amid mounting evidence of incompetence and mismanagement,” according to a press release.
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO), along with Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Charles Grassley (R-IA), sent a letter asking the president to remove Arnold Fields as the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR).
“It has been clear for several months that SIGAR’s mission is not being served effectively. It is for this reason that we have concluded that SIGAR would be better served with new leadership,” the letter states.
