On another note, the U.N. is saying that governments have given only a fraction of the money that they have pledged for Tsunami aid.
Nations have pledged $977 million, but only $360 million has reached the world body’s coffers, said Margareta Wahlstrom, special envoy of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Several people were suspended last week, with others under investigation.
The U.N. World Food Program will soon dispatch more food aid monitors to try to “abolish any corruption within the government system,” coordinator Dawit Getachew said.
