Why aid a corrupt regime in Uganda?

THE revelation that the UK has made a further £20m cut in aid to Uganda for its 2006-07 budget highlights the need for the Irish Government to revise its aid policy to this corrupt country.

The British government made the cut because of concerns about governance, public administration expenditure and budget plans.

The recent investigation into Uganda’s mismanagement of aid money from the Global Fund on Aids, TB and Malaria unearthed evidence of ‘serious mismanagement’ of funds.
