A lot of companies have been set-up to help achieve this. This does not only mean that many companies are helping to line certain peoples’ pockets illegally but that often the wrong equipment is bought, (like the desalination plant) and many projects are undertaken, buildings are constructed for no better reason other than the politicians can get their kick backs.
