Mr. Gwokto,
There is something I don't understand here. In about May 2000 Museveni bought, too, bought himself a presidential Gulfstream jet -- in spite of stiff opposition from IMF, World Bank, and civil society.
How come that the Ugandan pizanti was stiffed for between $35Million and $47Million (depending on the source you consult) to pay for the jet for our dear leader when Ghana paid only $16Million for theirs, less than half of the lowest figure?
Where did all the excess money go?

President Kufuor has not flown in the presidential jetThe government of Ghana says it has sold off a controversial presidential jet, bought for former President Jerry Rawlings in 1999.The $5m raised for the Gulf Stream G111 will be used as a down payment on four Chinese jets for the military and a flight simulator, the government says.The jet was an election issue in 2000, when President John Kufuor defeated the candidate of Mr Rawlings' party.President Kufuor described the $16m jet as "wasteful and frivolous". He has always refused to travel in the plane.
