I’m 
... on According to this article from the good old World Bank, corruption worldwide adds up – a lot – to about $1 trillion paid in bribes annually.
How does Uganda fair?? Well, the World Bank doesn’t have a list of individual countries ranked according to corruption, but a quick google found this page and also this page, which both rank Uganda pretty close to the bottom of the barrel.
Page number one puts Uganda at 105, grouped with Bolivia, Malawi and others – less corrupt than Laos or Yemen but more corrupt than Tanzania or Malawi.
Page number two says Uganda is 124, smack between Libya (less corrupt) and the Philippines (more corrupt).
I wonder what Muhwezi would have to say about this.
The 27th Comrade says:
Wow. If it adds up to a trillion, good. Some people are being saved from starvation. Some people are earning enough to send their daughters to school.
Or, are they?
) But even if you did, the government propaganda/censors may have already obscured the last shreds of evidence that the USA is at the bottom of the barrel. It even gets worse if we narrow down the definition of corruption and eliminate attempts at survival, and only leave that carnivorous man-eatery that a blue-eyed Americano, Paul Wolfowitz showed recently, the same that made Muhwezi, sorry, I mean Bush, attack for personal enrichment … the kind that made Hurricane Katrina impossible. Sorry, I mean possible …
Most of that money is being stolen by Americans like Paul Wolfowitz. I guess you didn’t Google for the USA.
I wonder what the Bush dynasty would have to say about this …

I don’t think anyone is not going hungry because of bribes… the people taking bribes – the big ones at least – are usually the ones who already have the assets to be in a position to get a big bribe.
