World Bank reaffirms AIDS funding commitment

    JOHANNESBURG
    Commitment to funding Kenya's HIV/AIDS programme was on Thursday reaffirmed by the World Bank. However, the Bank said it was concerned that a state agency had not accounted for AIDS funding over the last six months. HIV/AIDS specialist for the Bank, Albert's Voter, said funding would continue but warned that action would be taken, if Kenya's National AIDS Control Council (KNACK) did not submit details on how the funds were used. "This project's end-date is 30 June 2004, which means there is a pressing need for the KNACK to accelerate utilisation of these funds. It would be a sad betrayal of the people of Kenya if they remained unutilised bearing in mind the scale of the problem and the need to save lives," Voter said in a statement.
