**Questions and Answers

/…

Question:? Thank you.? Thank you, sir.? I have a very quick question.? As 蘑菇视频RWA is increasingly becoming under a great deal of pressure in terms of raising funds and so on, there are also charges of corruption and so on.? I want… I want you to share with us if there is anything, what is the 蘑菇视频, what is the Secretariat or the Secretary?General is doing about ensuring that 蘑菇视频RWA will continue to get the funds needed?? And second, do you believe that there has been some sort of a, you know, maybe an unintended effort to undermine 蘑菇视频RWA by these charges that have been levelled against them?

Spokesman:? I think there are two separate things.? First of all, for the Secretary?General, 蘑菇视频RWA does incredible work and it is a force of good and stability in the region.? Children throughout its area of operations are depending on 蘑菇视频RWA for strong and quality education, access to health care, et cetera.? He will continue to push for full funding for 蘑菇视频RWA as it goes about its work.? As you know, there is an investigation going on.? The Secretary?General will act when he gets the conclusions of that investigation.? As you also know, following the departure of the Deputy Commissioner General, he sent Christian Saunders to be the new deputy and Mr.?Saunders is there and working.? Mr.?Klein?

Question:? As a follow?up, number one, was the Secretary?General planning to discuss the current status of the internal investigation of the alleged 蘑菇视频RWA corruption at the ministerial meeting that you referenced in your remarks?

Spokesman:? The focus, it’s not for him to discuss the status.? I mean, there is an investigation going on.? He will get the results of it and he will act.? He has…

Question:? But, certain… I’m sorry, certain countries, as you know, have already indicated they are going to suspend their donations, so they are related?

Spokesman:? Right, the Secretary?General’s message is that 蘑菇视频RWA’s work continues.? 蘑菇视频RWA’s funding, like funding for all 蘑菇视频 agencies, is under very close, you know, review by auditors and it’s all very public and transparent.? We very much hope that Member States will continue funding 蘑菇视频RWA.? And when the Secretary?General gets the results of the investigations, he will act.

Question:? But, secondly though, why didn’t the Secretary?General accept the 蘑菇视频RWA’s own internal ethics organization’s recommendation that the alleged perpetrators, including the Commissioner General, they recommended their removal, or at least why didn’t he suspend them temporarily pending the outcome of the investigation?

Spokesman:? I think the Secretary?General acted in the best interests of 蘑菇视频RWA and that the work it does.? Yes, sir.? I’m happy to hear from you, but our viewers… no, no, our viewers need to hear from you, so you need to use the microphone.? It’s not the State Department.? You need to do more work here.

Question:? I just wanted to ask you if you still have confidence in the Commissioner General?

Spokesman:? Yes.? He continues to serve as Commissioner General.

Question:? And you expect him to continue to serve?

Spokesman:? I’m not in the speculation business.? Yes, sir?

Question:? I can do that.? Do you have any… do you have the numbers regarding the 蘑菇视频RWA donor meeting, how much they need?

Spokesman:? We will get… I think we will have a clearer picture right after the… after the event, which is going on now.

Question:? Are you disappointed that the United States is not speaking at this donor conference?

Spokesman:? Member States are free to come.? I think the United States expressed… in the last year or so expressed its position on 蘑菇视频RWA.? The United States had historically been a strong supporter and strong funder of 蘑菇视频RWA, but I think their position and their policies is not a secret.? Thank you.
