Meanwhile, the Pentagon’s Inspector General is accusing KBR of overcharging the Navy in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. KBR was hired by the US Navy after the hurricane to provide meals to workers and service personnel. According to the Pentagon’s audit, the Navy paid approximately $4.1 million for meals and services that should have cost less than $2 million. The Pentagon’s audit requests that the Navy seek refunds of at least $8.5 million for “inappropriate” payments to KBR.
