Synopsis
Reporter Sorious Samura visits Uganda and his home country of Sierra Leone to reveal how aid money is lost, stolen and frittered away.
He stops at a showpiece hospital, run by a well-funded health department, that looks like a warzone - yet its carpark is home to dozens of new 4x4s for ministry staff. He questions a former minister accused of stealing funds and offers his vision of how Africans can take control of their own destiny.
Chemists caught selling free drugs in Africa

Sorious Samura asks why despite £400bn of aid being poured into Africa so many are still living in poverty.
