He also demanded the agency be transparent about how the money would be allocated.

I can assure you that we have the systems in place for transparency and open source accounting.

Your team can review and work with us to be totally confident of such, David Beasley, via Twitter.

He also clarified that the agency had never claimed $6 billion would "solve world hunger.".
