Scott Perry, a US Congressman, has accused the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) of providing funding for internationally labeled terrorist groups such as Boko Haram.
The republican made this statement during the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Thursday.
The hearing was focused on Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud, which focused on alleged misappropriations of taxpayer funds.
Perry said, “Who gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, and terrorist training camps. That’s what it’s funding.”
Through the subcommittee’s website, it stated that it will “actively work with President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste, shore up vulnerable payment systems, and fully investigate schemes to defraud taxpayers.”
Perry added, ”if you think that the program under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women’s Scholarship Endowment, which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually, is going to women who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General’s report, are telling you that the Taliban does not allow women to speak in public, yet somehow you’re believing, and American people are supposed to believe, that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan. It is not.

“You are funding terrorism, and it’s coming through USAID. And it’s not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan’s right next door.
“USAID spent $840 million in the last year, the last 20 years, on Pakistan’s education-related program. It includes $136 million to build 120 schools, of which there is zero evidence that any of them were built. Why would there be any evidence? The inspector general can’t get in to see them.
“But you know what? We doubled down and spent $20 million from USAID to create educational television programs for children unable to attend the physical school. Yeah, they can’t attend it because it doesn’t exist. You paid for it.
“Somebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism. This has got to end.”
Donald Trump had previously called for the closure of USAID, stating that the agency was corrupt in its finance operations.
Musk, whom Trump appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, has also criticized USAID, alleging that it engages in rogue operations.
Musk has called USAID “a viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America” and has vowed to shut it down. Among other criticisms, Musk has claimed that USAID does “rogue CIA work” and even “funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people.”
