COURT, May 7 – In the UN
system run by Antonio
Guterres, a fish rots from the
head. Before the COVID-19
pandemic, Guterres dozens of
times flew to his real home in
Lisbon, with UN Security,
without ever disclosing the
costs or even the
trips. Now his
head of UNFPA, the UN
Population Fund, Natalia Kanem
is under fire.
She wildly
overspent at last year's
Nairobi conference, having the
public pay for the travel of
two close
relatives.
There she spent
$200,000 on a cocktail party,
with a restricted guest list.
Inner City Press is informed
that in the UN - or really, on
Zoom - African ambassadors
have been discussing this and
the other dissatisfactions
with Guterres. (One would hope
that Guterres and David
Shearer killing Africans in
South Sudan with lax COVID-19
practices they try to cover up
by banning the Press and its
questions will also draw final
action on
Guterres).
Sources
tell Inner City Press the
initial demand to Guterres is
that the investigation/audit
should also focus on the
Nairobi Summit (where a
cocktail party worth of
$200,000 was organized) and
where there is a strong
suspicion of nepotism as the
son and members of the family
of the Executive Director and
many personal friends
participated (at the Summit)
at the cost of
UNFPA.
Guterres is so
corrupt that his spokesman
Stephane Dujarric and his
screener Florencia Soto Nino
block Inner City Press on
WhatsApp, and have now
apparently directed UNTV
(under Melissa Fleming) to not
provide video of his Zoom
"briefings" with sychopants,
state media and retirees.
(This while the IMF, for
example, made Inner City Press
its first questioner at this
briefing on May 7, on
transparency). So we publish
this exclusive, and we will
have more. Watch this
