UN chief Antonio Guterres begged donors to help Uganda deal with 'the biggest refugee exodus in Africa since the Rwandan genocide'. Britain led the way, offering an extra £40 million on top of the £111 million already spent in the East African nation. An investigation by this newspaper in June revealed rampant corruption, theft of aid, manipulation of data and sexual abuse of refugees in Uganda. The audit also discovered that UNHCR handed the OPM £280,000 to buy land for 'refugee registration activities'. The audit found £6.8 million disappeared on 'potential overpayment' to trucking and bus firms due to lack of paperwork.
