DFID declined to comment on why it had asked the Indian government to continue with a programme it wanted to end.
Well, that's all right then.

In India, meanwhile, government audit reports found £70 million had disappeared from one DFID-funded project alone.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds was spent on delivering more than 7,000 televisions to schools — most of which did not have electricity. Few of the televisions ever arrived. A further £44,000 of British aid was allegedly siphoned off by one project official to finance a movie directed by her son.
The only way to discover the truth is to find out where it's all disappearing to.

Obviously the French managed to get their £19m of bribes into the correct hands. Quality over quantity gents, that's the ticket.
Well quite!It's not the state-sponsored bribery that annoys me, or even the hypocrisy of Western governments introducing anti-corruption laws so that only they can do it.
It's the staggeringly poor ROI which really gets to me!

Well done, India.
The purpose of "aid" is not to help people, it is part of the strategy of keeping the well-oiled "Third Sector" machine running; the charidees, the agencies, the NGOs. The last thing they want is an independent, prosperous "third" world joining the first world. They want dependent brown people dragged into the progressiviest, greenist, maelstrom of the Progressive Left who dominate the West at the moment.
The purpose of "Aid" is not aid at all, it is hegemony. It's time it was stopped entirely.

It sounds like drivel to me.
So a country in receipt of aid from the UK tell our dear politicians that they really do not need it any more, however the aid is still given as it would be 'politically embarrasing' to stop it when it had been justified to us by politicians.
Really think some t
t who refused to own up to getting it wrong owes us £1.2 billion.
Any of you fine gents know who made the decision to send this aid after it was refused?

‘Aid’ to India can surely only is an economic bribe. If a country decides to start a space program while its citizens are starving in slums then our contribution will almost certainly never make it to those who need it most.
