Looks like the UN is in trouble again.

UN millions wasted on ‘ghost refugees’: Huge probe launched amid fears profits POCKETED
A UNITED NATIONS internal report has found millions of pounds thought to be spent on a refugee programme in Uganda are unaccounted for - sparking fears leaders are skimming profits to cover up illegal spending by creating “ghost refugees”.

The probe, conducted by the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), has discovered over-inflated bills, fraud and non-compliance with organisation rules connected with the United Nations’ (UN) refugee program in Uganda. A report from the UN's internal watchdog said about £8.6m was spent on a recount of South Sudanese people who have entered Uganda, in a bid to potentially weed-out hundreds of thousands of "ghost refugees". The findings of the report have sparked fears that leaders are pocketing profits for their own gains.

A carpark at the Office of Ugandan Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda’s was alleged in the report to have been built using money that was earmarked for refugees.

And the OIOS report pointed to a potential £6million overpayment for water supplies from the UN to Uganda.

Money that is said to be unaccounted for within the refugee programme should have been reserved for people who fled South Sudan for neighbouring Uganda.

But the numbers of people entering the country may have been deliberately over-inflated.

The practice could have been used to secure extra funding - with the OIOS report higlighting concerns that officials have pocketed the difference.

More than one million South Sudanese natives fled the country after fresh fighting broke out in July 2016.

Another finding in the report claimed the OPM paid £220,000 in allowances per year to dozens of staff.

The report said the prime minister’s office “was unable to provide documentation to substantiate that these civil servants were working on UNHCR projects”.

Another of the report findings stated the UN’s refugee agency gave £6.2million to a "partner" to build 1,200km (745b miles) of roads – despite the company “not having experience in road construction”.

Doesn't corruption equal UN ?

There is so much money pumped into that organization love to see the books on where it actually goes.

Also what percentage goes to unaccountable bureaucrats.

Is GW & Climate Change a love child of the UN ?

You forgot free movement of migrants.

Dear Philip S,

We all know your view of the UN but why did you use that headline?

Nowhere in the article did it detail corruption by UN staff rather by the government officials it was distributing aid money too.

Further the Office of Internal Oversight Services which highlighted the issue is a UN body which would seem to be doing its job. We could have used such a group when Australia was fattening Saddam's coffers to the tune of $450 million dollars in the oil for food scandal.

Not one single Australian politician got even a rap over the knuckles for that little scheme.
