Six World Bank Officials Indicted
In Nigeria Fraud Case
Pan African News Agency
August 7, 2000
A probe panel report has indicted six World Bank officials in Nigeria
for allegedly conniving with officials of the federal agriculture
ministry to defraud the government of project funds to the tune of 100
million naira.
The private Comet newspaper Monday reported that the report was
submitted by the Justice Saidu Kawo panel that investigated
allegations of procurement irregularities in three World Bank-
assisted agricultural projects. The projects are the National Fadama
Agricultural Development Project, the National Agricultural Research
Projects, and the National Agricultural Technology Support project.
The officials did not appear before the panel, citing diplomatic
immunity.
The report said "it is crystal clear that the World Bank officials
connived with the local key officials to cause financial loss to the
federal government under the National Agricultural Research Projects."
It recommended that three of the officials directly involved with the
procurement be ordered to refund 522,577.75 pounds sterling and
561,840 US dollars to the government, being 25 percent surcharge of
the contract sum.
Explaining how the fraud was perpetrated, the report said it was done
through the procurement of obsolete and refurbished equipment at the
value of brand new ones. The equipment include 24 agricultural
tractors, vehicles, generators, transformers, seed equipment,
laboratory equipment and computers.
The report noted that some foreign companies, which bid for the
projects, were unduly favoured by the officials, saying "there were
recycling of apparently favoured companies in all the three projects."
The companies allegedly favoured include Crown Sakura Ltd (UK), which
reportedly supplied refurbished generators and tractors, First Fuji
Ltd, (Japan), refurbished tractors and vehicles and Shivind Ltd
(London), refurbished generators.
The report is the latest in a series of probes ordered by President
Olusegun Obasanjo after assuming office in 1999 to clean up the mess
left by successive military administrations, particularly in the last
15 years before he took over. Obasanjo, who had vowed to rid the
country of corruption, recently signed into law strict anti-corruption
measures passed by the National Assembly.

Well, she must be looking at her payslips now!

Iraq, the World Bank ( a crock of shit), Armageddon ... ?

The power of these people: in any accountancy firm, you would have
been out on your ear, yet the mealy-mouthed BBC, et al. are afraid of
being attacked by an inarticulate moron or the friends thereof. Power.
Madness. What is the motive?

PS: A study of a giant toilet role, apparently spray-painted by
Rothko when planning a scheme for his flat, just changed hands for
�36.5m. Any builder, left to his own devices, would have put it in a
skip, where it would have acquired another identity entirely! I
suspect that a bit of spray-painted plasterboard retrieved from a skip
and signed by Francis Bacon would have fetched equal money.You could
sit and look at it forever - if you were stupid!

On closer examination, I think it may well be something I myself threw
out one boozy night in the latee 70's. I can remember shaking the cans
and getting most of it across the floor. Thus, something of awesome
artistic significance lies beneath a carpet somewhere in West
Hampstead, the red wine and stray spaghetti somewhat enhancing its
beauty, recognised whilst we were all painting the flat together and
quite pissed. Sic transit gloria mundi.

As I write, the BBC says there has been a concerted attack upon the
British embassy in Baghdad. A spokesperson for the mission is quoted
as saying that, though Blear is visiting, the attacks are unconnected,
and happen every day, anyway. Ho-hum. There was a time when people
could wander into our embassy or a British Council office to ask about
study in Britain! The latter item was followed by a hint that the FA
Cup Final match at Wembley (90,000 expected) is a potential terrorist
target. And sure enough, it is! One must reflect that only a small
number of Muslims, a very, very, very small number, want to do
anything other than attend the match ( how many will dare?), though
they may be cross about Iraq and Afghanistan. Blare and Bush have put
them outside the pale, unrepentantly predicting and generating mayhem,
unable to admit their most grievous faults. Amusingly, though, the
British secret services are recruiting via the Web, offering all sorts
of bladishments and enticements to anybody who will join them.
Shutting the stable door when the horse has bolted is not a tiresome
cliche in these circumstances. It is raw, very raw reality. America, I
know, is in a similar situation.

There was a time when extremists of all kinds sat in London coffee
houses planning to remove one another from power, but the Bush/Blair
intervention upset the apple cart. A way out? Get out and let them
settle it amongst themselves. Sooner, the better! I'd even create
private space for them to do what they have to do: they once had that
in London. Give them a chance to get their 'tanks' off your lawn!

Critically, make peace where possible - but get out asap. It is not
too late!

It is unsurprising that a top-down socialist mentality like Blare or
an autocrat like Bush concluded that all you had to do was topple a
dictator seen as past his sbd, plug in 20 or so bilingual Arabs with
impressive degrees, and then all would be well. Alas, there is no
Lawarence of Arabia, though he is the only historical figure who might
have sorted the things out. Otherwise, John F. Kennedy: they would
probably have trusted him and given him time. Kennedy wanted to make
friends everywhere; Lawarence did! Though he is an arrogant son of a
bitch, Jessie Jackson might be able to do something but people would
have to let him up and at it. Hopefully, like the amazing and selfless
Mitchell re Ireland.

The current fuckwits are not up to the job. Britain is about to be
governed unopposed by 'a powerful intellectual who had to hire someone
to teach him maths.' Ho-hum!

When I was a socialist (sorry, guys, but I was) I had to put up with
twits who had swallowed not only a dictionary but the semantically
empty rhetoric of socialism. Always, in the background, some sly guy
winding them up. Orwell hated this, Nabokov deliciously implicitly
dismissed it, and David Lean brought the dismissal to the screen.
Pasternk's 'Dr. Zhivago' is simply a defence of the way to live, in
love, joy and sorrow, even if all you can afford now is memories. The
novel is great, but if you can not spare the time, go out and get the
DVD. David Lean production! Stunning, of course!
