Ugandan Foreign Affairs minister Sam Kutesa has been cited, in the United States, for soliciting and receiving a $500,000 bribe to secure business deals for a Chinese energy firm.
In a criminal complaint filed by US prosecutors in New York on Monday, two former top government officials, from Hong Kong and Senegal, are charged with leading a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme in Africa on behalf of the Chinese conglomerate through a charity organisation.
