Plane wrong: Mozambique's leader buys a £7million
private jet while his people starve and the country
gets £55million a year in UK foreign aid.The president of an impoverished African state which receives £55 million a year in British foreign aid has spent £7 million on a private executive jet, according to anti-corruption campaigners.Mozambique, where two-thirds of the population earn less than £1 a day, is mired in debt and all direct aid payments to the government from the international community were halted last year after a £1.5 billion secret-loan scandal.But the Department for International Development (DFID) still pours millions into NGO projects in Mozambique, thus freeing up funds which can be lavished on extravagances such as Filipe Nyusi’s new jet, say critics.
