In Corrupt Guterres UN World 12th ITU Complaint Is of Sole Source Procurement Fraud

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, March 7 – How corrupt is the UN-world system under Antonio Guterres, who bans the Press which investigates? This example is again from ITU, International Telecommunication Union, whose whistleblowers have, like others, reached out to banned Inner City Press:

Dear Matthew Russell Lee:

There is compelling evidence that the Council Chair and IMAC Chair manipulated procurement protocols to secure an unqualified vendor— Canvass and “Dr. Harjit”—for a “legal opinion” designed to prematurely close the WIPO case, without following Regulations and Rules for Elected Officials to (1) bring the case for Council consideration and (2) bring the case to Council to find misconduct and/or unsatisfactory conduct.

The Chairs, the Legal Advisor, and their favored vendors such as Canvass/“Dr. Harjit”/Ariska/Mr. Andre Caria, are incorrect to use the Investigation Guidelines as legal justification to bypass the Regulations and Rules for Elected Officials. The Chair of Council and IMAC’s use of Canvass/“Dr. Harjit” for “legal opinion” or for investigative work, and their similar use of Ariska/Mr. Andre Caria, to repeatedly close down cases as unsubstantiated and unfounded is a flagrant misuse of tax-payer funds and subverts proper investigative procedures. Council Members should request information as to how many cases Canvass and Ariska have been involved with and are closing down. They are the Council and IMAC Chair’s favored vendors, their “independence” and qualifications should be scrutinized, and their procurement is always done by direct selection for a reason

More coming.

After repeated refusal to respond by spokespeople including Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming, here was the first complaint on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here.
