VICTORY #4: United States Congress cut UNDP funding by 20% for 2008

- $ 31,000,000
(Thirty One Million Dollars)
MAJOR VICTORY ACHIEVED TODAY AT CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES

in a landslide victory the coalition for accountability and transparency of United Nations Funds and Programmes, managed to pass in Congress the Bill with a 20% reduction for US contribution to UNDP.

Despite UNDP spending 1.9 million USD for public relations in fighting back the allegations of wrong-doings in North Korea.

Despite UNDP sending to Washington multiple time all his high-raking officials, from Kemal Dervis, Ad Melkert, David Lockwood, Akiko Yuge, Darshak Shah, as well as his heavy-weight blonde - David Morrison. Only in late November - early December 2007, the trio Darshak - Morrison - Lockwood has spent a week to try to persuade the various investigative committees and have the Congress and Senate not pursue further with their threat of cutting the UNDP funds for 2008.

Despite UNDP's terror campaign against those that speak the truth.

For the very first time since its conception the United States Congress and Senate cuts the funding of UNDP on grounds of lack of transparency and accountability.

This is the text of the Congress Bill for Budget 2008:

b) UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

4 Twenty percent of the funds appropriated by this Act
5 under the heading "International Organizations and Pro
6 grams" for a United States contribution to the United Na
7 tions Development Program (UNDP) shall be withheld
8 from disbursement until the Secretary of State reports to
9 the Committees on Appropriations that UNDP is-
10 (1) giving adequate access to information to the
11 Department of State regarding UNDP's programs
12 and activities as requested, including in North Korea
13 and Burma;
14 (2) conducting oversight of UNDP programs
15 and activities globally; and
16 (3) implementing a whistleblower protection
17 policy equivalent to that recommended by the United
18 Nations Secretary General on December 3, 2007

Kemal Dervis and Ad Melkert should resign immediately. They should hear the voice of the people and the discontent of the American Tax-payers.

Leave now Dervis ! You and Melkert are the most crooked managers UNDP has ever had.
