(2005-03-30) — UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan today said that, despite allegations in the Volcker Commission report, he had “no advance knowledge” of his alleged relationship to his 31-year-old son, Kojo.
The report accuses Kojo Annan of deceiving his so-called father and refusing to cooperate with the investigation of his role in the UN oil-for-food scandal as a highly-paid consultant for the Swiss UN-contractor, Cotecna.
“I knew that Kojo helped Cotecna get the UN contract,” said Mr. Annan. “But I was not aware that he was my blood relative who was raised under my own roof.”
The Secretary-General immediately redeployed a battalion of blue-helmeted UN troops from Sudan to monitor the developing Kojo crisis.
