The recall of the US ambassador may, in turn, result in the US cutting aid to one of its largest receiver after being told by the ambassador that large amounts of the funds being given to the country were being misused and that no strict punishment for such actions was in place
The US ambassador has since returned to Washington and a replacement is not to be named any time soon, sources say.
