On Tuesday the finger pointing between staffers at OLPS (PSO) has reached new levels.After the direct fight between Nr. 1 - James Provenzano (the boss on paper of PSO) and his Nr. 2 - Krishan Batra ( de-facto boss of PSO), where Provenzano blamed Batra for his direct role and involvement in hiding and obscuring the ACP-Online, now was the turn of Batra to unleash his anger against yet another member of PSO.
Batra directly confronted Dimitri Samaras alleging his direct involvement and that of the Staff Council in running UNDP Watch. He told Dimitri that:- “ he no longer trusts him and anybody else in the 8th floor and all those seating in the floor could be the UNDP Watch-ers”.
Krishan – you are totally right- you never know who is who in 8th, 5th, 17th or even 21st floor for that matter.
But all the above doesn’t stop us (UNDP Watch and simple UNDP staff) from asking you Krishan:
- Why are you so nervous about?
- What do you have to hide?
- If you don’t – why you don’t call Fridakis and put the ACP-online back in Intranet and open it up for the UN Member States to look into it ?
- Isn't the definition of the ACP content - the screening of PUBLIC BIDS? If they are called "public" why are you denying access to them ?
- Why you don’t tell the truth of who wrote-drafted the TORs of Eva Leonie Herfkens (EVELINE) ?
- Why you don’t publish ACP/07/0763 with all its original documents?
Meanwhile with help from UNDP Watch-ers at Human Resources – we are putting yet other pieces of evidence on EVELINE story.
- A Part Time Assistant Secretary General - with full ASG remuneration at $225,871. EVELINE got to have smth really special to be able to work part-time at UNDP and still make a quarter of a million dollars. We wonder what?
For the sake of transparency UNDP Watch contacted UNDP Human Resources in Copenhagen and they sent us the calculations of how much an Assistant Secretary General earns in New York.
To our dismay the calculation of a FULL-TIME ASG salary NET came at US$ 158,569. As UNDP staff we have the right to ask in what rules, regulations and Salary scales did BRSP and Human Resource Management based their determination to pay Ms. Herfkens US$ 225,000 for a PART-TIME job. A US$ 70,000 increase from a FULL-TIME rate ?
Does Melkert or Krishan Batra (ACP) know the concept of PART-TIME is equal 50% or less than FULL-TIME (100%)?
How come Krishan Batra and other members of ACP "forgot" to ask for the basic rules when approving ACP/07/0763: (a) proof of funds(Atlas print out); (b) detailed budget cost and AWP; (c) salary scale - comparative evaluation?
If UNDP claims to be transparent, why they don't give a list of all PART-TIMERS inside UNDP as of 18 Dec 2007 and publish it on the UNDP.ORG. Will be interesting to see how much other PART-TIMERs earn inside UNDP.
How much does a Senator or a Member of Congress makes in the United States for a FULL-TIME job? How much does Amb Khalilzad makes in one year for his FULL-TIME job at the USUN?
Meanwhile, US taxpayers continue to pay the bill for this mega corruption at turtle-bay.

An anonymous employee of Mrs. Eveline’s previous department for Development aid commented: “her behavior beats by a large margin the most corrupted or greedy third world officials working in the UN.” He had to give his opinion anonymously, as very likely such opinion is not beneficial for his career in a country with freedom of speech.
Of course Mrs. Eveline was interviewed. Her position:
Why flying business or first class?
“Well, you see, checking in economy takes much more time. I have better things to do. This is just jealousy of once-a-year-holiday-tourists.” You know, those once-a-year-holiday-tourists are the same people who paid for her flights. And who obviously have nothing better to do.
Why renting a penthouse palace?
“My, what are people fussing about? I need a three room apartment with a balcony and a view. Otherwise, one gets claustrophobic in New York! And within walking distance of the UN, as I do not want to waste my time in the subway. People really don’t have anything better to complain about?”
New York, so I am told is a rather big city, with millions of people not getting claustrophobic, and having no problem to commute to work by subway. But then, those people are just jealous.
I really wish politicians faded away like old soldiers do…
