Retired Anglican Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, who is a Pakistani citizen, has warned much of the aid flowing into Pakistan to help deal with massive flooding may never be used for relief. “The misery that the (Pakistani) people are in has been caused, to some extent, by corruption and incompetence,” Bishop Nazir-Ali, the former bishop of Rochester, Kent, who has spent much of his life in Britain, told reporters on a visit to Australia, The Age reports.
“How do you expect that corruption and incompetence to deliver relief,” Bishop Nazir-Ali said.
“I think it is good to make generous gestures but I think it’s also very important to make sure at least some of this money actually gets to the people who are really suffering.”
