POGO Responds to ArmorGroup Guard Firings
| Tweet |
POGO has just issued a statement in response to the State Department announcement that eight ArmorGroup guards have been fired and two more have resigned. From POGO Executive Director Danielle Brian:
"POGO is pleased that the State Department has finally taken decisive action to bring the Kabul security guard scandal under control. We remain very concerned, however, with certain elements of this action. POGO has no solid information of the identities of those reported to have been removed. We have been told people are being fired for simply being in the photographs. We do know a number of those were unwilling participants.
We also want to hear that the supervisors who were responsible for this debacle are being held fully accountable and not simply allowed to resign and go to another contractor."
