The trouble with Uganda’s economic gangsters…

Corrupt government is hard work. It is far cheaper and easier to have an honest government.

Malawi’s President Joyce Banda is one of the African leaders who is highly regarded. First, she took a salary cut. Now she is selling the presidential jet because, she says, Malawi can’t afford it. She has been praised for that. The Indonesians would have trusted Suharto.
In Uganda, few would believe that the proceeds of the sale of the presidential jet would go into the Treasury. And if it did, that it would be safe there.
