Kofi Annan's Son Linked to 75m Harare Airport Deal
Africa News Service


Lagos (This Day, May 8, 2000) - Kojo Annan sounded tetchy. "I want to make
it very clear, to avoid speculation about my father," he said. "When Air
Harbour was awarded airport contract I was not on its board of directors."

The defensiveness of the son of United Nations secretary-general, Kofi Annan
was understandable. Sunday Business has learnt he is a director of the
offshore company that benefited from what Zimbabwe's opposition alleges is
the country's most notorious act of cronyism.

It is a bizarre tale involving a wayward nephew of president Robert Mugabe,
the son of a former Saudi oil minister, as well as the son of the UN chief.
It is set against the backdrop of a Pounds75 million contract to redevelop
Harare International Airport, the little-known Isle of Man-registered
company that won it, and Mugabe's new mansion.

And it is a story that may yet present the UN secretary-general with
difficulties in dealing with Mugabe as a rising tide of violence sweeps
Zimbabwe.

Last Sunday, Annan's son was keen to emphasis that he did not become a
director of Air Harbour Technologies until ate last year - four years after
its victory in the Harare airport tender caused an outcry in Zimbabwe. But
he was less keen to elaborate on the nature of his involvement with the
company.

Speaking on a mobile phone in his native Ghana, Kojo Annan denied having a
shareholding in Air Harbour, or drawing a salary. He added: "I have
director's fees. I mean, any director of any company gets fees."

But when asked how much he is paid, he said: "Do you really think I'm going
to answer that? I told you I have no further comment. I'm not going to
answer that."

The youngest of Kofi Annan's three children and the son from his first
marriage, Kojo is based in Accra, Ghana, and in Lagos, Nigeria, his mother's
home country. He is a partner in a Lagos firm of consultants called Sutton
Investments, which is involved in development projects. The 26-year-old's
business activities raised eyebrows last year when it emerged that a client
had won the Pounds6 million contract to monitor the UN's "oil-for-food"
programme in Iraq.

Geoffrey Lipman, Air Harbour's chief executive, said: "As a board member,
Kojo passes comment on all of our activities." He stressed that the company
had no relationship with Kofi Annan or the UN.

Read Mo's link in 48; the money was deposited in FRENCH BANDS..........ROFLMAO.......the oil for food money was IN THEIR BANKS......and they were making a HUGE amount of money off of it....and so was the UN, not even counting what they were SKIMMING........

Is it any wonder the UN and France didn't want to go to war with Iraq?

This is RICH!

[tsmith130]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!

[MCRD]

Kofi, Kojo, doesn't he have a daughter named Koko and a dog named Kujo?

Story here. Of course, the AP reports the story without mention she's an aid to Carol Mosley-Braun.

FNC has picked it up however.

Thank you...heard this on Fox.

No surprise, except a pleasant one that it is emerging into the open.

Kofi Annan's son works for Halliburton?

[Judith Anne]

NO KIDDING! I've been saying this for at LEAST a year! I'm thrilled that it's coming out now!

Can you imagine Kerry as President, with our troops under the control of Clinton, SecGen of UN? I've long thought that was Clinton's aim, to be SecGen--and with Kerry as President, we would all be fodder...America would be raped, killed, lost forever...

OOOOOOOOH! God condemn these evil men!

[Dog]

Thanks for the ping.

[cyncooper]

Say it ain't so, Kofi!

(Is Hans Blix going to be implicated before we're done?)

Kofi Caught in Cookie Jar,

Oh, no, (mock shock and horror and said with a whine) if we don't hear it on ABCNNBCBS it can't, just CAN'T be true.

What a scumbag. And pointing the finger of blame at Bush. While people starve. Yep, he's are perfect for the UN and his son is a chip off the old block. I guess it's true what they say about a guilty conscience.

[KevinDavis]

I think the UN is about to fall real soon. This maybe the straw the broke the camels back.

[RightWingConspirator]

Oh! No! Kojo! Tell me it isn't true! You know the high regard I've always had for the UN and the elites who run it! Not!

Jesse Jackson must be overwrought about this.

Well, we know now that if George W hadn't taken action to remove Saddam, you would still be collecting millions. Time to get you, your scumbag father and the whole corrupt UN out of the US and the US out of the UN.

[Howlin]

I agree. This has been a long, agonizing wait for us, hasn't it?????

And don't even THINK about your scenario. We have to fight like HELL to make sure that doesn't happen.

[Howlin]

Are you serious, or is that wishful thinking?

[TomGuy]

Ok, now. You need to identify that pic as a 'photoshopped' pic. Otherwise, you might confuse the New York Times, and G_d knows, they've had enough confusion this last year or so.
