UN GATE,
Nov 1 – How corrupt is today's
UN under Antonio Guterres?
Today's example in his mission
in South Sudan, UNMISS, about
which his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming refuse all Press
questions. Inner City Press
has asked them, and others,
about the newest sex abuse
case against the UN there. A
week ago, Inner City Press
published this from a UN
whistleblower:
"Dear Mr. Matthew
Russell Lee:
...The
Principal Coordination
Officer, Director of SRSG of
UNMISS has recently been
ousted due to a sexual
misconduct case."
Inner City Press
has in writing asked some 60
people in Guterres' UN to
confirm or deny the names - no
answer at all. So we have
receive this
"The individual
who was sent home due to a
sexual scandal is Boitshoko
Mokgathe. The woman who
accused him is Catherine Shin,
a senior Political Affairs
Officer. [No denial or comment
from UN] Catherine Shin
filed a case against
Boithshoko Mokgathe,
highlighting the severe
shortcomings in the mission’s
management structure.
The SRSG -
Nicholas Haysom, an at time
jovial man who did nothing
when Inner City Press to whom
he has spoken about the UN's
failure in Sri Lanka was
banned -- being of advanced
age, struggles to manage the
office effectively."
In anticipation
of the arrival from New York
of Catherine Pollard [who
laughed or cheered as UN
Security roughed up Inner City
Press throwing it out of the
UN while it covered a craven
Guterres speech] several
officials are taking leave to
avoid being questioned.
Now this: USG
Catherine Pollard held a town
hall meeting with
UNMISS staff
today. However, questions were
only taken from a selected
group of management, while the
majority of staff were
sidelined.
The following
questions were raised on the
platform but were blocked by
management group
from being asked to USG
Catherine Pollard. Some
questions:
Illegal
recruitment practices are
widespread. Hiring managers
often select their girl
friends or boy friends ,
while others engage in
favoritism by offering
personal services, such as
cooking or buying gifts, to
gain promotions. Your
administration appears
powerless—issuing directives
from New York that are
never enforced. What impact do
you hope to achieve with your
visit to the mission from
leaderships?
tackle the issue
of non reporting the witnessed
incidents of sexual harassment
by Individual Uniformed
personnel on the basis of
political implications that
may exist between the
countries they represent.
We will have more
on this.
