Anthony Banbury, UN World Food Program Corruption
Anthony Banbury, a U.S. citizen and U.N. official, is leading the Ebola response using World Food Program (WFP) infrastructure. The hosts recall the corruption associated with the WFP under Kofi Annan, where funds were allegedly diverted to arm rebels in Ethiopia and Somalia. They posit that the current Ebola funding may similarly be used to finance arms deals in West Africa.
