The International Monetary Fund (IMF), which approved a $1 billion loan to Uganda on Monday is undermining the forces of democracy in the East African nation, while also aiding and promoting corruption and human rights abuses.
The loan is to be disbursed over time, beginning with an immediate infusion of $258 million according to a press release from the bank, so perhaps there’s still time to restore sanity to the process.  
The money, in addition to shoring up Uganda’s economy which has retrenched due to the Covid-19 disruptions is also meant to fight the pandemic. It’s true that Uganda, like most African countries has been severely negatively impacted by Covid-19. However, the main constraint in fighting the disease has been corruption, which goes up all the way to the country’s dictator Gen. Yoweri Museveni.
