From the link:

Despite a high-profile campaign to stamp out graft in the impoverished African country

I'm sure that's true but I also understand that this country is also one of the major oil exporters!
Explain it all to me again. I've obviously lost the entire plot on Africa.[This message was edited by Pat Kelly on 03 April 2006 at 02:36 AM.]

"Referees should only pretend to fall for the bait, but make sure the result doesn't favor those offering the bribe," Amun said.

Unless, of course, those offering the "persuasion fee" send off their "enforcers" carrying violin cases. Me thinks the bad guys don't like being "double crossed". Didn't Jimmy Cagney have something to say about this one time? I think the term "dirty rat" was employed...

Do not try this at home...
