A "Foreign Aid" Official Who Blocked DOGE from Seeing Agency Records Had a Personal Reason to Stop the Audit

Would you believe that he was diverting taxpayer money to a "friend" who then kicked back "secret payments" to his bank account?

Luke Rosniak at Daily Wire:

A foreign aid official who refused the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to his agency's financial records may have had a reason to keep auditors out: he steered illicit contracts to a friend who sent him secret payments, according to a law enforcement affidavit obtained by The Daily Wire.
Mathieu Zahui, chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, refused to grant DOGE access to its books and told the White House that the agency would not acknowledge President Donald Trump's appointee as chairman of the board. After a dramatic showdown in March, DOGE physically took over the building with U.S. Marshals, but control of the agency is now the subject of a lawsuit objecting to "swooping in with DOGE staff, demanding access to sensitive information systems" -- an objection that reads differently in light of the criminal probe.
For years, workers at the small, USAID-adjacent federal agency focused on Africa have told oversight bodies about allegations of self-dealing, procurement violations, and mysterious offshore bank accounts, many of them involving Zahui. But little was done about it, several told The Daily Wire.

One action that raised eyebrows was Zahui's insistence on directing both grants and contracts to a company in Kenya called Ganiam Ltd. According to spending records, it was awarded nearly $800,000 in contracts without competition. For example, a one-year, $350,000 contract for "transport, travel, relocation" services was executed in March 2020, when few people were traveling or holding conferences because of coronavirus.
According to a search warrant application uncovered by The Daily Wire, USAID's inspector general established by August 2024 that the company's owner had secretly wired money to Zahui's personal bank account at times that matched up with the federal contracts. To date, the Department of Justice has not charged either man with a crime.
Ganiam Ltd. is owned by Maina Gakure, whom Zahui has known for decades. Both worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs in San Diego and later moved to Fairfax, Virginia. Gakure had been in charge of awarding contracts at the VA, then created his own company designed to get government construction contracts by taking advantage of a minority preference program. It was called Ganiam LLC and was based out of a house in Virginia. Gakure similarly created a company based in Kenya called Gakure Ltd. The African Development Foundation is permitted by law to give grants only to African entities.
In January 2024, inspector general agents interviewed Zahui about the Ganiam contracts, and he acknowledged having known Gakure personally since 1999, and having been to his apartment. He "could not explain why the contract with Ganiam was sole-sourced instead of being competitively bid," the agents wrote.

Zahui was named chief financial officer of the federal agency after he declared bankruptcy and had his house foreclosed on. He acknowledged to investigators that the travel contract was executed after COVID had already shut down travel. He told them the contract was actually used for IT services, but since Ganiam had no expertise in IT, it subcontracted it to a different company. A Department of the Treasury contracting official told the agents that was not allowed.

I have always believed - even when I worked in it - that the government was slow-moving, wasteful, and exponentially too large.

Then I got fired because I wouldn't sic my agents on a particular group of Americans.

Even aside from how personally I was wronged, I readily accept that - in general - people employed by the government, from GS-2's all the way to (and particularly) the SES ranks knowingly and actively find ways to fuck us harder whilst enriching themselves.

"Blind, as it is used in these phrases, is thought to have come from its use in early 20th century student slang meaning 'completely, totally.' With that in mind, to rob someone blind means 'to take absolutely everything from someone.'"

80 I find it remarkable that so many federal contracts are total crap, signed by unsavory actors in the government. I worked for USACE, and the hoops we had to jump through to make sure all contracts were fairly awarded were astounding. If the slightest thing was not done correctly, the contracts were not awarded and we restarted the entire process. To find that other agencies just hand shit out to their friends blows my mind.

I guess USACE values integrity a bit more than agencies who are just handed money by Congress, but still, the veniality of it all is mind blowing.

Seems like he may have missed a few things in his wonky deep dive, no?

They had a budget crises in a town near mine when the state finally stopped sending them COVID funds. See they had used those temporary funds to hire a bunch of permanent bureaucrats. The town demanded a massive tax increase or they'd fire a bunch of teachers and cops.

People looked through the town budget and found things like a new highly paid "climate change engineer" and argued why don't we cut positions like that first. The response? That office is too important to cut..!

True.

But mostly, it's about hating men.

Reading anything she writes about trannies, it's about men invading women's spaces. She loves stories about men who call themselves women and doing crimes so she can run off with, "This is a MAN doing it! Women don't do this!"

The incentive structure there is against trannyism because the state pays for the procedures.

About every three years or so. I remember the attempt they made in COVID to have all the cats murdered. Other times its just the 'songbird' crap. I had a pretty good hunting cat for 13 years and saw what he caught. Dirty grey pidgeonly birds that don't sing a note. There used to be some Jays that bullied them all, but they didn't sing.

314 I remember seeing Space Camp at the theater. It was about kids who go to space camp and then accidentally launched into space. The premise was so retarded in hindsight but as a 10 year old (or whatever age I was) it was a damn cool movie.

No because there’s no fraud so there nothing to look for.

321 Dad was a TV repairman (and he had an ultimate toolkit), we always had a good TV and pretty solid reception. People would bring in a TV, decide it wasn't worth the price to fix, and he'd repair one and bring it home. We even got a very early video game console that way, had like Pong on it.

If you just watch the first movie, its about space ships and guns and tech, with a few old religious types with a crazy belief system in the force. Darth is mocked and subordinate in the power structure.

Then because everyone thought he was so cool and loved the light sabers, it became all about Jedi and Sith. Its also hilarious seeing how Darth Vader went from a huge imposing figure who moves slowly and doesn't fight all that well to a mobile killling machine who can use telekinesis to throw things out of orbit.

Unlike most WWII battles there's a lot of human interest stories in the thick of the pivotal moments of that battle that might interest a girl. George Gay in his torpedo bomber who was shot down trying to damage a carrier and got to watch the attacks hiding under a seat cushion, only survivor from his entire ships torpedo squadron. Or the dive bombers missing the carriers fleet but spotting a destroyer moving away and following it to the right place. Then, most of the planes attack one carrier and only Dick Best and his 2 wingmen take out a third carrier on their own.

Heh, the Spanish government made The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Remember the bridge they blew up? The Spanish Army had to build it twice since the first one blew up before the cameras were rolling.
