UN GATE, July 18 – How corrupt is today's UN? Well, while it bans the Press which exposed the bribery of UN Presidents of the General Assembly John Ashe (by Ng Lap Seng) and Sam Kutesa (by the China Energy Fund Committee), it will install a new PGA in 2025 without any competition, no other candidates: Helga Schmid.
Will she be any better, at a minimum in ending censorship of Press? When current PGA Dennis Francis took over at President of the General Assembly, his spokesperson Monica Grayley directed the press to his website.
But days later on September 11, under "Transparency," there were only two pages, both of which said "No posts." Now 40% owned by China.
This week Francis has belated put online a PDF of staffers - but NOT of who pays them, a minimal reform announced after PGA Ashe's indictment. It includes "Mr. Ralph A. Kader Special Adviser to the PGA (Strategic Engagements and Resource Mobilization)."
Among other things, Ralph Kader has been listed (and paid) as the "foreign minister" of the fake country of Monte de Agrella, which Inner City Press exposed before being thrown out by SG Antonio Guterres and still banned.
Inner City Press must be re-admitted to ask. Corruption.
