Humanitaria aid used to pay government salaries

from SWRadioAfrica

...Mutambara announced that through a strategy he has dubbed ‘humanitarian plus’, the government would receive money under the banner of humanitarian assistance, to “pay for grants to students who are going to college, to pay for the salaries of teachers in higher education, to pay for salaries of teachers in the primary schools and secondary schools.”...

since the switchover to foreign currancy, the government has lacked the foreign currancy to pay civil servant and teachers. The real worry is that the money will be diverted into certain people's bank accounts, something that happened with previous aid that the government was given...

alas, such diversion is common in many countries...
