[NEWS AND VIEWS] « The Nollywood story | Home | Mugabe withdrawal. » December 08, 2003Bureaucrats or blaggers? How can you tell which countries are taking the World Summit seriously? (Or, at least, which countries will be taking home the most goodie bags?) Daily Summit presents its very own League of (ligging) Nations.Malaysia comes out on top with a magnificent 137 delegates, while Cameroon, Djibouti, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Liberia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, San Marino, Seychelles, Sierra Leone and East Timor share the wooden spoon with just one representative apiece. Special mention should go to Nigeria for including a driver in their delegation, and to Samoa for sending a dancer. Finally, Gabon, for a population of 1,321,560, are sending 66 delegates - one for every 20,000 citizens! The full delegate list can be found here. TOP 10 1. Malaysia 137 2. Romania 116 3.

Jack, in Nigeria the value of a good driver is incalculable!

I only counted four (4) actuals from Trinidad and Tobago, and I understand that Therese Cornelis-Baptiste will not be attending. Same data shows that these are all NGO attendees.
Do you have a different source of information, or did I screw up? Taran @ December 7, 2003 06:28 PM
