This man - after serving for almost 7 years at the helm of United Nations, is now dictating the world body from his chair of the Minister for United Nations of Britain.
Yesterday the United Nations Development Programme has pulled the cord and disconnected the servers with data over billions of expenditure under the Mark Malloch Brown's watch. Exactly 3.6 billion dollars worth of bids saved under the servers of OLPS (Office of Legal and Procurement Services) are now vanished. Shirine (OIST) and Peri Johnson are busy preparing the legal grounds for the "action" and finding the right excuses for UNDP.
Even though all bids were public UN bids, internationally published and paid for from the UNDP budget which comes from Member states of the UN (like the US), now the public and the staff of UNDP will have no longer an opportunity to access those. While the procurement laws at the UN says that all official documents should be saved and stored for at least 7 years, these procurement which are from 2004-2007 will never again make it to become public knowledge.
It seems that this time Sir. Mark has found the formula - he has send an able negotiator and salesman, his former landlord, to negotiate with the US Representative at the UN a deal under which the US Government would not ask about the content of those files and let's say - "MOVE-ON".
But will the UNDP and Sir. Mark be able to defy the internal uprising in UNDP?? Would Khalilzad stad for the truth inside those files ??
Will see - the saga continue.
