UN Colombia Mission Hiring Scandals of Wang Sleeping Way Up on Mar as Guterres Covers Up

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, Jan 1 – How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Today's follow up, the first but certainly not last of this new month and year, is yet again on his mission in Colombia, about which his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refuse all Press questions. Inner City Press has asked them, and others, about the newest sex abuse case against the UN there. Now this, from a UN whistleblower sent to Inner City Press:

Dear Matthew Russell Lee,

There is another scandal to report, which is the newly appointed CMS/DMS for Colombia, Mr Yang Wang.  In the same email, as well as in articles published  by  Inner City Press,  it has been reported that Chief HR Mar Brusola manipulated the   recruitment process by eliminating  all qualified candidates in order to make the selection of Mr Wang easy.  Due to his limited knowledge, experience and English understanding , Mr Wang has never  passed  any UN exam .  After serving as Military Observer in Liberia in 1994 and Iraq in 1999, he was imposed by his government to UNMIL in 2004 as Administrative Officer.

 He was downsized in 2016 but thanks to his Chinese connections and support, he was saved and moved to UNSOM  where  he  worked for the SRSG, who was not impressed by his work, as he was only good at taking ID pictures for all staff and he still does.  The SRSG in order to get rid of him, abolished his post, never a post was ever abolished in Somalia as they always needed more posts. Nevertheless, he was saved again  without  any roster membership or passing any test  or  interview,  and moved to the mission in Colombia to be the P5 Chief Operational Resource Management, a position for which he did not have any experience. 

 While working in that position for 6 years and not producing anything for UNVMC,  he tried to get into  the roster for his own position but failed  every time . 

 Although   he   has   no  managerial  skills  or professionalism,  despite  committing  fraud in his application by  declaring his fluency in Spanish and passing an exam in a language he doesn't  know, he was selected as CMS D1 for which he has clearly proven he is incapable.  OIOS and OHRM do not want to undergo any investigations despite requests from Colleagues.

The fact that he is not fluent in Spanish and could never answer the written answer in the exam could be easily verified. But this is how the corrupt UN works.  Why  have  member states  lost  faith  in the UN?  It  is  because  DOS USG Khare and SRSGs continue to choose for their own personal benefits and returns, unprofessional and incapable  CMSs and DMSs who do not uphold the UN's  core values . And meanwhile the staff under such unfit and unhealthy management, suffer.

 We count on Inner City Press as the UN system has proven to do nothing against the corrupt officers


We'll have more on all this. Keep the info coming.
