UN GATE,
Oct 27 – How corrupt is
today's UN under Antonio
Guterres? Today's follow up is
on 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. And this, which we
exclusively published: "each
Kenyan UN
employee hired
by Aggrey is
required to
contribute two
months' salary
to a fund.
This fund is
intended to
support the
construction
of an office
building in a
prime location
in Nairobi,
which will be
leased to an
international
NGO."
Now
more, from a UN whistleblower
sent to Inner City Press:
Dear Mr. Matthew
Russell Lee:
Aggrey Kedogo has
been instructed to remain in
Kenya following the exposure
of a corruption scandal by
Inner City Press, a widely
followed investigative source.
Investigators are hesitant to
challenge senior management,
as they seek to secure
permanent positions by
transitioning from
investigative roles to mission
staff. Contractors and UN
Volunteers (UNVs) are
allegedly being recruited
under unethical circumstances.
It is claimed that some serve
senior managers as personal
aides or bar attendants, with
allegations that contractors
are bringing women from
outside to gain favor and
secure UN recruitment by
making seniors happy and
enjoyable.
In another
scandal we reported, Spox
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming are being asked to
confirm / comment on the fill
in the blank here: "The
individual who was sent home
due to a sexual scandal is
Boitshoko Mokgathe. The woman
who accused him is ___ , a
senior Political Affairs
Officer." Watch this site.
The senior
Special Representative of the
Secretary-General (SRSG) has
struggled to contain the
growing scandal
Same with
OIOS - which covers up, and
did nothing on DSS roughing up
the Press.
It is
Guterres, they say, who should
resign - and end censorship.
