Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni
has publicly handed a sack containing about Shs250 million (£66,000, $100,000) in cash to a
youth group, raising questions about how the money will be spent.
The donation was broadcast on national television. There were loud cheers as President Museveni held the
white sack containing 250 million shillings aloft, before he handed it to a
representative of the Busoga Youth Forum.
At the same meeting, he handed over a minibus, a truck and 15 motorcycles. Ugandans are used to seeing the president hand out money at public events.

But what has shocked many Ugandans is the amount and the image of their
president holding a sack of money. A minister said giving the money in public would ensure transparency.
