On 8 March, the FCPA Blog reported that Burhani Engineers Ltd and its 3 affiliates are ineligible to participate in projects and operations financed by the World Bank Group during a 24-month debarment. It is alleged that the activity took place in connection with a $168 million World Bank-funded project was designed to increase access to electricity in rural areas of Uganda. The debarment qualifies for cross-debarment by the Asian Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the African Development Bank.
