COMMENTS ON REFORM DESA

DESA has become a den of corruption and cronyism. Thanks to the Greek project, the bad apple started to smell with Bertucci. But Bertucci has been nothing more than a dandy dealer in a corrupt network. The real goons are Peluso, Oveissi etc. They thrive by nurturing corruption.

Whether it involves facilitating recruitment of incompetent Bastet, or Bertucci's niece and nephew, or promotion of clueless Hian Qian as Division Director, it is these two opportunists who keep on buttering the right side of the bread so that their own hold on the Department continues unabated.

Lot were expected of M. Sha Zhukang. But not only the gentleman has proven himself to be an outright humbug, in league with these two master schemers of the Department he himself has also indulged in the most wanton act of nepotism and favouritism - promotion of clueless Haiyan Qian, a fellow chinese and the daughter of his former colleague, to the position of Director of DPADM, over the heads of many extremely highly competent candidates is a good example of abusive use of his authority. It has been reported that to accomodate Haiyan, Mr. Sha draically changd the original TOR of the position.

It is about time that OIOS takes note of these dubious activiies and do something to clean up the Department.

DESA's reputation both in substantive as well as in administrative terms, is at lowest ever.
