In Corrupt UN of Guterres UNRWA Hiring Scam of Saunders and Lies of Viotti and Pollard

By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE, July 9 – After Inner City Press exclusively exposed UN international staff's sex exploitation in Tel Aviv, with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres refusing to answer any Press questions on the scandal, now Inner City Press turns to UNRWA. 

  Inner City Press is today publishing documents showing how recruitments take place at UNRWA. The first recruitment document we are publishing on DocumentCloud, here. The director of legal affairs and director of Human Resources wrote a letter to the Commissioner-General asking for his direct appointment for a position of director of planning after the candidate failed the interview process.   The appointment was approved.  The footnote explains how the candidate failed in a number of key competencies.  Authors of the memorandum were not investigated.  They continue to manipulate the system and bring friends to senior positions.

 The director of legal affairs Rachel Evers immediately after this recruitment started lobbying for her upgrade to D2.  She is now on her way to becoming the chief of staff D2 

 Inner City Press is also publishing a document showing how Antonio Guterres' office continue to lie to donors.  This "not for circulation" memo, Inner City Press is publishing on Patreon, here.

  The briefing summary states that there was no fraud.  When the senior advisor to the Commissioner General accepts scholarship for her son from a private donor through her position and denies refugees in need from receiving that donation while on top of that she gets full education grant from UNRWA this is definitely fraud.   When the commissioner general uses donor money to fly his advisor business class this is fraud.  When their telephone bill roaming reaches 30,000 monthly this is fraud.

 The briefing stated that at the time of completion of investigation, the deputy commissioner general was out of the Agency.  The report was completed in November 2019.  The deputy commissioner general continued to receive salary until March 2020.  They could have taken measures if they really wanted to be transparent  and respect accountability.  The briefing said that the investigation was still ongoing with the chief of staff while we know for a fact the the investigation was completed in November 2019 and he was informed of a decision not to pursue with him the findings.  The Secretary-General’s office continues to lie to donors on several matters.

         Christian Saunders who gleefully cheered on the ouster of the UN building and despite pressure of SG l, failed to get the USG position.  During his time of acting at the position, he took random decisions of increasing salaries and increasing the deficit by additional $70 million annually without any justification.  He was buying staff support.  Saunders appointed his close friend of his same nationality as director D1 of security.  The same director failed. P5 level a few months before his recruitment as D1.

 In order to do this, he hand picked another friend of his from UNICEF and asked him to chair an UNRWA panel for this selection.  The UNICEF friend happened to be the supervisor of the selected candidate at the time of selection.   Christian Saunders with his transparency decided to quietly change title of chief Human Resources to deputy director of Human Resources without respecting any of the rules This is today's UN - totally corrupt.
