The World Bank has told Uganda's government that proposed legislation to regulate people and organisations that receive foreign funding will hinder its work in the country, according to a letter seen by Reuters. The legislation, introduced in parliament by President Yoweri Museveni's government on April 15 with the stated goal of protecting national sovereignty, says any Ugandan receiving money from outside the country must register as a foreign agent and disclose all incoming funds.
