Sir Edward Clay, the outspoken former British envoy to Kenya, let rip at the World Bank for lending $120 million (£68 million) to President Kibaki's Government when it was embroiled in a massive corruption scandal. In a letter to Paul Wolfowitz, the President of the World Bank, Sir Edward accused the organisation of "toadying to a thoroughly corrupt administration" and said that last week's loan made a mockery of efforts to stamp out high-level looting.
