Today Ban Ki Moon appeared from Annapolis, as if he was needed there and as if everything at the UN is in order and running smoothly.
Meanwhile, at the UN Kemal Dervis after reading the latest report of Claudia Rosett orders Steven Fridakis (UNDP's Chief Information Security Officer) to shut down immediately the UNDP's public procurement system (ACP online) where are stored 38000 documents corresponding to 2800 ACP contract awards from 2004 - 2007. Even staff at OIST (UNDP's Information Department), who's access was cut-off from Fridakis, found this decision as abrupt and non conform the UN rules and regulations.
From today the UNDP Staff worldwide and the public will be deprived from direct knowledge of what happen and how UNDP awarded 3.6 billion dollars worth of contracts (above 100 thousand dollars each). Out of these 3.6 billion UNDP's Mark Malloch Brown and Kemal Dervis have awarded 1.9 Billion in Waivers of competitive bids and Direct Reviews.
What's most disturbing is that United State Mission to the United Nations (USUN) is totally silent. Despite trumpeting UNTAI the USUN's Khalilzad has decided to not raise this issue and keep all the focus of the USUN to other important events. While Kemal Dervis is forging and deleting thousand of documents equivalent to 3.6 billion dollars of public funding, half of which comes from the US tax-payers, the silence of this diplomat cannot be explained.
How come the US Congress and Senate allow such crime to be committed. Why the US Government is not asking that within the next 48 hours (not a minute later) either the UNDP puts online all the ACP decisions in the past 3 years (with full documentation) or Kemal Dervis, Ad Melkert, Akiko Yuge and Krishan Batra to be expelled immediately for improper use (and abuse) of public funds.
If USUN or any other member-state of the UN would fail to demand such actions, than we are sure that UNDP staff will not tolerate this situation any further, but they would be obliged to find ways and means to let the public know where 3.6 billion dollars went.
UNDP Staff today call upon Ban Ki Moon and current President of General Assembly Srgjan Kerim to uphold the highest standards of UN Administration and denounce, investigate and enforce that Kemal Dervis and UNDP management immediately restore the UN property and give access to public to know what UNDP spend the money for in the past years.
The above doesn't require another Oli-for-food Investigation, but ACTIONS now or never.
