UN-DESA's GAID Board includes a UN/World Bank blacklisted member

Sarbuland Khan the Head of GAID - Global Alliance for Information and Communication Technologies and Development, have selected and nominated in the Strategic Council of GAID one of the United nations Blacklisted Vendors - SIEMENS.

Siemens AG, the German engineer that's emerging from a global bribery scandal, will be shut our from World Bank financed projects for two years and the company agreed to pay $100 million to support anti-corruption work.

But it seems that Mr. Sarbuland Khan did not bother by the last four year OIOS/WB investigation and suspension from UN's Procurement Department of Siemens.

His support and nomination for Siemens to end in the GAID Strategic Board, seems to lead to Angela Kane's (USG-of Management) connection to Siemens. In order to protect his own extension of contract beyond retirement age, Mr. Sarbuland Khan has agreed and put into the World's Highest Advisory Group on Technology a company which was and still is barred from doing business with the UN.

Maybe DESA claim to be out of the United Nations Secretariat jurisdiction and does not recognize UNPD's (Procurement Department) decisions.

But the question is who controls who in ESA ? Who supervises Sarbuland Khan ? Who signed off in Siemens ending up in DESA's highest Strategic Council ? And WHY ? For what price ?
