In Corrupt Guterres UN World 20th ITU Letter to Inner City Press IDs Lawless Bahamas Pol



In Corrupt Guterres UN World 20th ITU Letter to Inner City Press IDs Lawless Bahamas Pol

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, March 31  รข€“ How corrupt is the UN-world system under Antonio Guterres, who bans the Press which investigates? This example is again from ITU, International Telecommunication Union, whose whistleblowers have, like others, reached out to banned Inner City Press, which putITU questions to 30 plus UN spokesperson with no reply:

"Dear Matthew Russell Lee:  There needs to be accountability at ITU, ahead of its Council that begins on 28 April.

 Do Member States care that Mr. Stephen Bereaux is pocketing around $20k a month as a D2 selected without competition by the SG, while at the same time openly campaigning for the Deputy Secretary-General position on behalf of the Bahamas, and working as a consultant for the Bahamas?

 Do Member States care that Mr. Bereaux's wife, Michelle Bereaux, will be sitting in the Council since she is also on the Bahamas delegation payroll, with a role of "scrutinizing" the financials and administration of the ITU, while her husband wears three simultaneous hats: ITU D2 as Chief of Finance and Administration, consultant for the government of Bahamas, and Bahamas candidate for Deputy Secretary-General?  ITU rules state that candidates must go on unpaid leave. But this: "The Government of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas has announced its support for the candidacy of Mr. Stephen Bereaux for the elected position of Deputy Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The announcement was made by Mr. Randol Dorsett, Chairman, URCA, The Bahamas during the ITU World Telecommunications Development Conference (WTDC) 2025. Mr. Bereaux is currently the ITU's Chief of Administration & Finance." Lawless.

More coming.

After repeated refusal to respond by spokespeople including Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming, here was the first complaint on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here. On June 19, 2025 Inner City Press re-applied to re-enter the UN to ask these questions, application here.
UNGA went by - nothing. Then in January 2026, with no explanation or rationale given, a terse denial. Totally corrupt.
