[Tolo News] The US official in charge of Afghanistan aid oversight, Arnold Fields, has resigned, White House says.The resignation comes weeks after some members of Congress criticised the retired major general, Arnold Fields, for not being aggressive enough in tracking the spending of the billions of dollars of American aid in Afghanistan.
A White House official has said on condition of anonymity that General Fields had not been asked to resigned and was not fired.
General Arnold Fields was appointed as the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction in 2008, but remained in the position after President Barack
B.O.Obama took office.
A statement released by the White House says General Fields's office produced several critical reports that played an important role in improving reconstruction efforts and helped ensure that the programmes funded by the United States were achieving their objectives.
It is not yet clear if President B.O. has accepted the resignation and who will replace General Fields.
