A Washington Post articled today enlightens us as to the foibles of Parsons Corporation an Iraq contractor so incompentent that they make Halliburtion look expert.
According to the article 13 of the 14 projects with which they were involved are substandard. Their biggest project, construction of the Baghdad Police Academy, has led to the building being declared a health risk "after feces and urine leaked through the ceilings of student barracks". Nice.
In addition to the police academy (contract value 75 million USD) they were also responsible for the construction of 150 health clinics (contract value 243 million USD). Only six of these clinics were ever finished even though 186 million USD were spent. 121 were partially completed. These will be completed by Iraqi contractors for a further 36 million USD.
Do you think they may have had this Police Academy in mind instead?
