DOGE hails $263M savings from nixed contracts, including FM in Zambia and executive coaching

The Department of Government Efficiency announced in a Monday post on X that agencies had recently nixed "111 wasteful contracts," resulting in millions of dollars in savings.

 
 

"Great work by agencies over the last three days terminating 111 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $790M and savings of $263M," the post on X noted, before going on to give a couple of examples.

The post indicates the canceled contracts included $21,000 for an executive coaching program for the Energy Department and $480,000 for U.S. Agency for Global Media "FM operations and maintenance" in Lusaka, Zambia.
