A senior Christian leader has warned much of the aid flowing into Pakistan to help deal with massive flooding may never be used for relief.

Retired Anglican bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, a Pakistani national who has spent much of his life in Britain, is visiting Australia to discuss issues around Islam and its growth in the West.

“The misery that the (Pakistani) people are in has been caused, to some extent, by corruption and incompetence,” Bishop Nazir-Ali told reporters in Canberra on Monday.

Much of Western aid to third world nations seems to be used to prop up corrupt and despotic regimes. Short of a civilising colonial incursion, there probably isn’t a solution and, as Malcolm Muggeridge used to say,  Western aid tends to earn its givers the undying contempt of the recipients.
