Wikileaks US Cable: President Jose Ramos-Horta Responds US Ambassador Stupid and Ignorant

President Jose Ramos-Horta
Toda6 6 September 2011 President Jose Ramos-Horta returned to East Timor and responded to questions regarding recent Wilileaks cable made public via: http://wikileaks.cabledrum.net/origin/142_0.html.


In responding to journalists' questions President Jose Ramos-Horta stated
"Well couple of things in this regard I have seen but I really dont care. As you know Embassies have rights to make their own comment on politicians and situations. The only things that we should all be very careful about is that the USA tells us about the proper Intelligence services but I would say, excuse me what you know about intelligence services. You cannot even keep your documents secure."

US Ambassador to Timor-Leste 2007-2010.
Currently Coordinating Director Rule of Law and Law Enforcement.
US Embassy Kabul Afghanistan.
The President of East Timor, further stated.
"They are entitled to their opinion whatever it is. That's the work of diplomats. Some of the opinions are totally stupid. Doesnt reflect the reality on the country. Their personal analysis of a particular situation, the only thing I would like to say is some of the analysis is so stupid, ignorant or they are not able to their reports confidential. "
Wikileaks has in the past few days published hundreds of cables relating to East Timor: http://wikileaks.cabledrum.net/origin/142_0.html.

US Amb Questions Emilia role in 2009 Eyepopping Salary Jobs for Friends Scandal

Emilia Pires


On Fri, 22 May 2009 08:04 UTC US Ambassador to Timor-Leste Hans Klemm sent a cable to Washington DC titled "Timor-leste Seeks World Bank Contrition".  This cable has been made available by Wikileaks.  This cable covers the story broken by Tempo Semanal (here and here) about the huge salaries for Worldbank consultants working in the Ministry of Finance the conflict between the Worldbank and Government, and politicised hiring of staff by the Minister of Finance.


"World Bank headquarters may have behaved badly and needlessly by in effect publicly scolding the Timorese without prior consultation and in the midst of a highly politicized debate in Dili."
"The program in question is not without its blemishes: its consultants receive eye-popping salaries by Timorese standards and an ongoing review may reveal inappropriate political influence over employment decisions."

Eyepopping Salaries
The cable continues to outline how the salaries are questionalble in such a poor country.

"Timorese public attention has been drawn to the salaries PFMCBP consultants are receiving.  An intrepid Timorese journalist broke the story several weeks ago and posted online the full recruitment and benefit dossiers of more than eighty World Bank consultants assigned to the Finance Ministry's project.  The remuneration being received by some World Bank consultants was eye popping - over $500,000 annually in a country where more than half the population survives on less than $0.88 a day.  Timorese attention also focused on the cases of three Timorese nationals employed in the program thought to be under-qualified, politically close to the Finance Minister and earning far, far in excess of regular Timorese civil servants.  One such Timorese reportedly is drawing an annual stipend of  $200,000, while public servant salaries here typically hover around several hundred dollars per month.  The opposition party Fretilin accused the government of a variety of sins, including corruption, nepotism and lavishing large sums on low quality advisors.  The cases generated sufficient public outcry that members of a party within the ruling coalition joined Fretilin in demanding that the finance minister appear before parliament to explain."

Despite the fact that the Prime Minister Gusmao initially defended the program when the Worldbank announced a review of the program the PM cut off all ties with the Government.

"The Prime Minister held an extraordinary press conference on May 13 to support the government and the World Bank program.  He stoutly defended the practice of using foreign advisors as essential to improving the qualitative operations of the government and, in a deliberate bid to insulate the World Bank from criticism, described their salaries as determined by the international market.  The PM also asserted that not only did corruption occur more frequently under the old Fretilin government, but so did the practice of hiring expensive foreign advisors (indeed, the PFMCBP was begun by the Fretilin government, although substantially overhauled by the current finance minister).  In the middle of this domestic dispute, and after the Prime Minister's public defense of both the program and the World Bank, the latter released a press statement on May. Although carefully worded (it is available on the bank's website), it states the World Bank is reviewing contracts made between the Timorese government and consultants, notes concern about the level and cost of international technical assistance, suggests the PFMCBP has been too costly, and asserts the bank has raised the need to reduce the number of consultants with the Timorese government.   It is viewed, by both the Prime and Finance Ministers, as unfriendly, damaging and disloyal.  On May 15, the prime minister instructed his government to halt all contact with World Bank staff."

US Ambassador Hans Klemm and President Ramos-Horta
The Finance Minister Pires ask for help from USA to save the project and repair relations between the Worldbank, ex former employer, and the Government.

"The Finance Minister reported that she sent the World Bank president a letter asking the Bank to "undo the damage." She asked the ambassador for U.S. support in convincing the Bank's leadership that it must make an effort to fix the current situation, including offering an apology to Prime Minister Gusmao.  She summarized her view of the World Bank's May 14 actions as "disrespectful," symbolic of the inherent imbalance in the relationship between an enormous international institution and a small nation such as Timor-Leste.  She also urged the U.S. to work to improve communications between the Bank and its office in the Dili (the local World Bank staff reportedly argued against the May 14 press release, but their concerns were overruled by headquarters)."

The US Ambassador also states in the leaked cable the its likley the Minsiter of Finance has made poor decisions - likely regarding the Minister hiring friends on "eyepopping salaries.

"The PFMCBP is not without blemishes.  So far, it has added more international capacity than it has built Timorese skills.  And the ongoing review may well reveal poor hiring decisions including by the Finance Minister."

US Ambassador Informs DC TL President Angry that Prime Minister Drunk.

According to Wikileaks on Mon, 12 May 2008 08:59 UTC the US Ambassador to Timor-Leste Hans Klemm sent a cable to US State Department on the subject titled "Timor-leste Coalition Stable Despite Stresses" classifed as CONFIDENTIAL.
In this cable the US Ambassador informs the US Government on matter related to the Timorese coalition government.  See this link for the full version of the cable. http://www.cablegatesearch.net/cable.php?id=08DILI139&q=08dili139


The US Ambassador Klemm writes that 

"FRETILIN MP Jose Teixeira noted that Gusmao's "refusal to listen to anyone has alienated these parties." These contacts also suggested that the Prime Minister may have an alcohol problem which is impairing his relations with others. During a May 5 meeting with Poloff, James Dunn, author and longtime observer of Timor, reported the Prime Minister angered President Ramos-Horta by turning up "visibly drunk" at a reception in honor of Prince Albert of Monaco in April."

The Wikileaks have released over 1,100 cables referencing Timor-Leste from 1992-2010. they can be viewed via http://www.cablegatesearch.net/search.php?q=timor&sort=0.

Signifika gerasaun ba gerasaun bele iha mudansa positive nebe bele benefisiu ba povu ho nasaun, tau interese publiku a’as liu interese privado ou pessoal.
Primeru ministro, kaer governo iha 2007 positivu tebes. Nudar lideransa nia akumula gerasaun foun no matenek nain timor oan sira husi rai laran no husi rai liur, Australia, Portugal no seluk tan. Fo oportunidade tomak no hamutuk ukun la hare ba kor nakukun nian mutin ka metan, hamutuk hodi ukun povu mukit no halo planu atu dezenvolve rai nee ba oin, no hein katak sira mos bele sai nasionalismo ida nebe ke diak. Maibe dalaruma resultado nebe primeru ministro hetan kontrariu ho buat nebe nia hanoin ou hakarak husi sira. Entaun nia tenki apela tan dala ida para lideransa ou timor oan nebe iha potensi atu ukun, nebe tuir mai atu ukun sei ho nasionalismo nebe foun no furak.
Parte ida tan, nasionalismo nebe diak, hakerek na’in hanoin katak iha loron ida sekarik povu mukit no kiak nia oan sira mak iha kapasidade no iha oportunidade atu sai lideransa, nia mak sei sai nasionalista lolos. Ho rasaun katak, nia moris husi kiak, nia hatene lolos moris povu nian, hatene povu nia preciza, no hakarak. Nia sei simu realidade, sei respeitu justisa no instituisaun ida-idak nia funsaun, nia sei la uza poder hodi manan justisa no korupsaun, nia sei hanoin atu hadia no lakohi atu estraga. Hanesan, Gohier (2008) hakerek katak nasionalista lolos la moe atu simu realidade nebe iha, lakohi estraga maibe hakarak hadia“The true nationalists don’t shy away from reality, they want to improve it. True nationalists don’t want to destroy, they want to build” (http://www2.macleans.ca/2008/06/25/harper-gives-a-lesson-on-true-nationalism/)
Iha parte seluk desenvolvimento politika iha Timor la dun supporta atu timor oan ou gerasaun foun atu sai nasionalismo lolos, maibe sidadaun sai depedensia iha future. Lideransa politikus komesa uza osan ou materias hodi manan votus iha eleisaun duke ho programa dezenvolvimento nebe bele benfisiu povu emgeral ba future. Hanesan proverb chineza ninian nebe hateten :fo ikan ba ema ida nia han orsida kalan no aban sei hamlaha. Hanorin ema ida atu kail nia sei bele han iha nia vida tomak. “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”( http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/2279.html). Hakerek na’in laos kritika politik nain maibe, nudar sidadaun ida la dun aseita atu povu terus tan ba politik aban bainrua. Tamba liu husi politikus sira uza osan no materias bele kria impacto negative ba povu nia moris iha future mak hanesan tuirmai nee:
1. Hatun produtividade (Decrease productivity) sidadaun nian no hasae povu nia dependensi ba lideransa; tamba nia sei toman ho buat nebe nia hein simu deit,
2. Bele mos halo povu laran moras ba malu iha sira nia comunidade no kria instabilidade iha sira nia leet. No dala ruma, 
3. Sei kria mos naunegualidade (inequality) iha nasaun kona ba politik no direitu sidadaun ninian.  Sidadaun ida nebe ke nasionalista, nia sei hare lideransa ou partidu nebe sinti iha valor nasional atu hili, no sidadaun nebe vota ba lideransa ou partidu tamba osan ou materiais bele hatun ninian dignidade ba buat hirak nee.
Ikus liu no atu taka hakerek simples ida nee, hakerek nain fo konklusaun katak nasionalismo tenki mosu husi fuan ho laran, haburas nasaun nia interese nebe benefisiu ba povo, no pratika nasionalismo iha vida politika nebe bele fo benefisiu ba povu ou sidadaun iha future.
Abrasu no obrigado ba sira nebe lee, hakerek oan nee.
