UK Wastes 500M on Foreign Aid to the Most Corrupt Countries in the World

Almost £90million went to Somalia, the most corrupt country in the world.

Britain gave nearly half a billion pounds in foreign aid to help people in the ten most corrupt countries in the world in 2012, a new analysis claims.

The UK has now reached the Government’s controversial target of spending 0.7 per cent of gross national income on international aid, with the total reaching more than £11.2 billion last year.

However, analysis of an annual index of global corruption compiled by the respected organisation Transparency International has shown that the recipients of British overseas support included nearly all the countries who have the most serious problems with bribery and abuse of power, The Daily Mail reported.

In 2012 the UK donated £86.8 million to help people in Somalia, ranked the most corrupt nation in the world.

There was also £200 million in British aid for Afghanistan, rated third in Transparency International’s list.

In many cases the money is channelled via charities and agencies rather than being given directly to the countries’ governments in an attempt to avoid it being pocketed by corrupt officials.
