The World Bank Screwing The People Of Uganda

The World Bank insisted on an autonomous Uganda Wildlife Authority board, independent of the Tourism Ministry, the PAMSU Commission of inquiry heard yesterday.
The condition was the only way for Uganda to receive funding to revitalise its wildlife sector.
In another twisted condition, WB asked UWA to install a foreign executive director...“We felt there were other competent people in the industry but the World Bank refused our choices,”...

[I must say as an avid world news reader, I am quite impressed with the Ugandan press. It's under attack from President Museveni, who's a real creep, but so far the Daily Monitor and the Independent have remained defiant and produce pretty respectable journalism.]
