2.38 billion spent on lobbying in the US (in 2013) HOLY CR@PAt least there is no corruption in the US public sector, they've got Lobbying!
WOW!! A third world developing country has corruption in the public sector.....who would have guessed!
I guess if you call it lobbying it means it it isn't corruption?
Lobbying in the United States describes paid activity in which special interests hire well-connected professional advocates, often lawyers, to argue for specific legislation in decision-making bodies such as the United States Congress. It is a highly controversial phenomenon, often seen in a negative light by journalists and the American public.[1] While lobbying is subject to extensive and often complex rules which, if not followed, can lead to penalties including jail, the activity of lobbying has been interpreted by court rulings as free speech and is therefore protected by the Constitution.

I'm long AAA, I'm not thrilled with their progress,
and the Ethiopean government is as corrupt as any including the US,
but if this is the bashing of AAA, try to be more creative.
