The U.N. report on the scandal-ridden oil-for-food program is slated for release on Tuesday, and insiders at the world body indicate that a beleaguered – and reportedly depressed – Kofi Annan could satisfy those seeking his resignation by voluntarily stepping down as Secretary-General of the U.N.
Just last week it was revealed that, despite earlier denials, the U.N. was paying the legal fees of disgraced oil-for-food head Benon Sevan – and using the escrow account of the oil-for-food program to do it.
That scandal followed revelations that Annan’s son, Koji, had received between $300,000 and $400,000 from the firm, Cotecna, after he had left it’s employ and before the company received a lucrative $60 million contract with the oil-for-food program. Supporters of Annan have sought to blame his son for not revealing his continuing relationship with the company to his father who claims to have been in the dark.
“Naturally I was very disappointed and surprised,” Annan told the London Telegraph, while acknowledging a problem of “perception of conflict of interest.”
