Corruption a hurdle for Obama 'power Africa' plan

President Obama’s multi-billion-dollar “Power Africa” initiative aims to double citizen access to electricity and other power sources across Sub-Saharan Africa. But it plays down the creation of a new public-private bureaucracy needed to overcome the pervasive corruption and incompetence of African governments and power utilities.

A significant portion of the Kenya-based endeavor is designed simply to administer the program. Segments include efforts to sway public and congressional opinion in favor of the initiative, according to a new planning document WND located through routine database research.

The U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, will hire a contractor or contractors primarily to persuade African officials to change regulatory governance of power distribution, explains the draft Statement of Work, or SOW. A corresponding agency goal is to encourage, with contractor assistance, the escalation of private-sector investment in the region.

So is it “green” energy?

Maybe he should resign and rush right down there to devote 100% of his time & energy to this. ;)

White House corruption or African? I really don’t see much of a difference.

Commie Obama’s talking points are smokescreen distractions for the products of Obama’s first 4 years in office:

* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Citizenship, or Scholarship
* Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* IRS-Obama’care” Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama

BTW, the best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.
