Melkert & Herfkens Affair: new documents revealed

thanks to UNDP Watch connections at Human Resources, we obtained today the TORs of Eva-Leonie Herfkens for 2007.




In the terms of reference EVELINE would: " officially report to the Administrator (in his capacity as UNDG Chair) with a delegated reporting line to the Associate Administrator through quarterly meetings."

US$ 225,000 for a part-time Assistant Secretary General, a "fake Dutch" with an American Green-Card - that would advise UNDP on quarterly meetings. What a disgrace to the United Nations.

Meanwhile the race to clean-up all internal documentation continues. Fridakis and Friends with full support of Darshak and Krishan Batra, from this morning are also being backed-up by Peri Johnson.

Peri's assistant has installed a shredder in her office, Peri is going through the documents and files left behind form her predecessor Jim Provenzano. She's right though, Jim was keeping too much documents no longer needed to the memory of the organization, eventhough the rule say 7 years.

We thank once again all UNDP staff supporting our accountability and transparency initiative. We urge all staff to start sending more of these documents, not only to UNDP Watch, but also to your respective country missions. We need to inform member states on the enormous corruption at the UNDP cupola.

We will come back with more on EVELINE.

I see being ED at the World Bank gives a lot of weight to loser politicos turned "diplomats". Wonder what the career diplomats who have been at the service of their governments think of these politicians who are in it only for the money whilst waiting for the proper time to get back into government positions when the wind of change comes along.

this is an organization in complete status of denial. They behave like they have something to hide. All of staff this morning at least in our unit, are talking about it, without finding any reason for why hiding all this stories.
I believe that both melkert and dervis should come clean on all these allegations and either prove the contrary or leave us the honest simple staff of UNDP to continue with our lives.
We can no longer bear this climate of intimidation and secrecy.
