Oil-for-food scandal shocks Annan
2005-02-04
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said he is shocked by findings of the independent enquiry into the oil-for-food programme run by the world body.
"I'm shocked! Shocked!"
Officials said on Thursday that Annan pledged to waive diplomatic immunity if any criminal charges are to be launched against UN staff connected to the scandal. "The secretary-general is shocked by what the report has to say," Annan's chief of staff Mark Malloch Brown said shortly after the first damning set of findings by the independent commission was presented to the UN chief.
"Yeah! He's shocked!"
Led by former US Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, the independent commission blamed officials in the world body for ignoring regulations and safeguards.
