[Ynet] Egypt and the United Arab Emirates said on Saturday they had contracted a state-run company headed by a retired Egyptian army officer to build wheat silos that are a key part of the UAE's $4.9 billion aid package to Cairo.
The choice of an army-affiliated company comes after Rooters reported in March that the UAE was working directly with the Egyptian army to ensure the project was conducted efficiently.
"Yes, of course funding attaches to sticky fingers and slides into convenient pockets, but at least the projects get done and work well enough to go on with!" |
