Mr. Brendan Rogers:

If development is to be sustainable in the long term a country must have a national plan, a democratically elected government and a sustainable form of government. The best way that we can exit from provision of aid is when these factors are in place. There has been a major hit in Uganda because of corruption and fraud. As a result we have had to carry out a forensic and detailed analysis on our other countries. The Deputy has visited Mozambique and Ethiopia. We are still working through government systems in those countries to a greater or lesser extent because there are different levels of governance. I do not think our core belief in the need for creating good democratic institutions of state has been fundamentally shifted. However, on a practical level, if we cannot trust the systems we cannot take part. We have taken a clear decision with regard to Uganda and I do not foresee us returning soon.
