UN Child is Crying for Help in TL: Translation TS Edisaun 137

UN Child is Crying for Help in TL

Post September 1999 the UN deployed many peace-keeping forces and Civilian Police to help in establishing stability and peace in the country. The CivPol assisted in providing training for the PNTL and also supported in maintaining rules and order. However some UN staff members have also grew polemics in the head of some Timorese. Lígia Maria Lilly Cruz Nheu / Lilly, 31, is now suffering the attitude of a CivPol member stationed in Oecusse.

She met her beloved 8 years ago when Goran Susnja was carrying out the UN peace mission in Oeccusse. The portrait of the peace-keeping mission’s love memory between Lilly and Goran showed serenity from the enclave, Oecusse.

The two grandchildren of Adam and Eve started to know each other in October 2001 and their relationship were legalized in Oecusse based on the rituals of the Catholic Church, on 14/06/2002. “We are married in the Catholic Church and then I was brought to live with him in Bosnia for six months. During my stay in Bosnia, Goran’s family was very nice to me,” Lilly recalled.

“Our marriage was witnessed by my parents and relatives as well as Mr. Fernando Souto from Portugal who was also a CivPol,” Lilly wrote in her letter to Mr. Hasegawa and the representative of UNIFEM in 2006. “I have a problem, therefore I filed a claim to the UN in relation to my spouse,” Lilly said.

“I have submitted the claim to the UN since 2006, but no replies. So I went there once again in December 2008 but still there was no answer.”

The letter was intended to seek for assistance from UN’s higher representative in TL to fight for her rights. “I have the right to have food and support for my son. I am now a single parent for my son and it is difficult for me to look after and taking care of him alone. I wanted his father to be responsible. If necessary I will present him to the court,” stated in the first paragraph of the letter.

“I submitted the claim to the United Nations regarding my spouse who worked as a UN Police officer in 2001,” Lilly said.

Twelve days before the first anniversary of the TL’s Restoration of Independence the UN peace-keeper’s love give birth to a son named Marco Nheu. Since 08/05/03 to date Marco has never heard of his father’s voice, that’s why he always asking for his father. “Where is my father?” Marco asked his mother. By taking breath deeply Lilly replied, “Your father is in Bosnia.”

After being with her spouse for few months in Bosnia, Lilly returned to Oecusse to process some documents as well as to prepare for delivery. “Then I returned to Timor-Leste to process some documents as well as to give birth to my son. Five months after giving birth to my son I wanted to return to Bosnia but he did not allow me to return to him.”

Upon return from Timor-Leste Goran got another opportunity to work as a UN staff member in Liberia. Therefore Lilly also reminds the UN that she does not want “Goran” to give child to the local women in other UN missions, but later not taking responsibility and then escape.”

“It is very much difficult for me to be a single parent. Shortly my son will start to go to school but I am not capable to send him to school. That’s why I will not send him to school even though it is for his future. So, I would like to ask the UN to take this responsibility. So that my son can go to school,” Lilly said.

Lilly and her child came from Oecusse and stayed near the Obrigado Barrack. They stayed in a tiny house in Dili. In the first days of May she was wearing a red blouse with pigtail hair and riding Marco heading towards the direction of the UNMIT Compound in Caicoli. Lilly carries out two functions as a mother as well as a father to sustain for their living.

She provided the reason why she is pursuing the UN to be responsible for the attitude of its personnel, “Because I was married to a UN staff who worked for the UN for around five to six years.”

Last week Lilly went to the UN Human Rights Unit to talk with some personnel there to discuss about the rights of his son. This time Lilly wanted to hold the UN responsible because she has been waiting for three years but the UN has never replied to her case.

“I come back to the UNMIT and to the Office of Mr. Atul Khare, the SRSG, to submit a claim but until no there was no reply. Now I want to hold the UN responsible to support my son.”

“I have problem and that is why I submitted a claim to the UN regarding my spouse.”

She implored the World’s leading peace and stability organization to provide financial support to her son.

Lilly showed doubt when this newspaper was asking whether or not she is faithful that Goran will be coming back to care for his son? “This is why I come to the UN. The UN should be responsible because I married with him under the shade of the UN flag, and three years ago he was still working for the UN, therefore I keep insisting for the UN’s responsibility over my son.”

Marco is growing and he is taller that the children of his age. “I need financial support to care for Marco until he grows up. Honestly as a single mother I cannot do more to find money to help care for my son. Even if I try to contact his father, the father will not be able to support because not even a cent he has never sent me during this six years. What will he send if I force him now? That is why I brought this case to the UN.”

“Few weeks ago I went to the UN to meet with Mr. Atul Khare but one of his staff who attended me and bring me to the Division of Discipline but from then on there is no result.”

“With the advice from some of my colleagues I have gave the information to the UNMIT Human Rights Unit. I met Mr. Lui and have gave him my son’s birth documents and it is now still in the processing.”

At the time this Newspaper tries to get clarification from the UN Special Representative of the Secretary General in Timor-Leste, it was said that there is no time and the Newspapers also tries to ask clarification from the witness who currently worked as an UNPOL where in 2001 was a CivPol in Oecusse but it also cannot be done because there should be an authorization letter from the Public Relation Unit of UNMIT in Caicoli. The UN spokesperson Mr. G. Kakuk said in his office that UNMIT knows about the case referred but he does not want to give comment. “Yes, we know the case but we are not yet ready to talk about that particular case nor other issues because there is possibility of implications to the legal process and this case is still under process,” said G. Kakuk with an angry face.

When this Newspaper tried to ask for clarification about Lilly and her son who are crying for support from the UN, the spokesperson cut the question from the Tempo Semanal by showing his expression of confusion about question. When this Newspaper explained that Lilly was trying to ask support from the UN, Mr. Kakuk’s tone was even getting louder. “I have told you that I don’t want to talk about any particular case. If you are interested about the UN’s general policy regarding the sexual relationship between the staff member with the local women, I can provide you the general policy lines but I don’t want to talk specifically about this particular case nor other particular cases.”

“Primarily, sexual relationship between the UNMIT personnel with the local women is not prohibited, but strictly discouraged.”

“But exploitation and sexual abuse which is committed by the UNMIT staff members is prohibited.”

“The United Nations adopted the policy of zero tolerance therefore there will be serious disciplinary action whenever such cases occur."

“In the cases involving the UN staff members and claims for paternity is not associated with allegations of exploitation and sexual abuse should be solved in accordance with UN’s appropriate legislation or UN’s appropriate administration guidelines that we have which is the general policy we have.”

Even though the UN spokesperson does not want to talk about any specific case but there has been many love affairs that have occurred within the peace-keeping mission in Timor-Leste. And Lilly said that she has been waiting for three years but there was no result so she prefers to choose the Public denounce.

One of the UNMIT staff members said that there have been many cases regarding the relationship between local women and the UN staff member but it needs to be investigated properly.

Maria Manuela Leon, the former director of Fokupers said that some times ago they went to New York to take the document regarding the attitude of the UN staff members in Timor-Leste. “I think the UN has the responsibility to give compensation to these children.”

She expresses her affliction because at the time they helped in raising the case referred, some Timorese women did not give their supporting data but as now such case already occurs and there has been some courageous women emerging, “I think it is important that the women network organization should provide assistance to demand for their rights.” Maria expresses her affliction regarding the United Nations’ position which is not clear in relation to these cases. She recalled that at the time when they talked with the UN about the case, the UN asked, why shall you questioned about the children of the staff members from other countries, why did not question about the children of Portuguese father who were also many in Timor-Leste. “The UN has never concerned about this.”

Maria promised that she will try to help in raising this issue with her colleagues from women’s network.

Tempo Semanal Internet Edition Exclusif: UNPol Child Crying For Help

Timor Leste UN Peace Keeping Child Crying For Help

After the 1999 UN referendum the Militia rampaged across the country, destroying most of the infrastructure in the country, many people were killed and some girls were even kidnapped to becomes "wives"of those militia.

The UN sent thousands of military and police to help restore peace in the country including the Oecusse Unclave. The UN not only restored peace for the country but also created further problems. In one case marrying, impregnating and deserting a woman and child in Oecusse.

An East Timorese woman has been victimised by UN staff and today demands compensation for child support. Ligia "Lily" Nheu is in a struggle with the World Organisation to look after her son Marco. Marco has born as a result of a marriage with a UNPOL in 2003.

Maria Ligia Lily Nheu / Lily, 31 married a UNPOL of Bosnian nationality. Bosnia sent it's police to East Timor to join UN mission and were based in the Oecusse district. "Because of the UNPOL I am now a victim and suffering."

"If UN didn't came I may not suffer like today."

Goran Susnja at 2001 was 22 wearing UN blue beret met Lily (23) an Enclave girl.

According to the witnesses within the UNPOL in Oecusse at the time says Goran was warned not to do so but Goran said he really felt in love with Lily.

In 2001 they go married in Oecusse, "after that we went to Bosnia, I got pregnant, then I came home to give birth, then he abandoned me and leave with me a son."

"This is very hard for me as a single mother."

"I have submitted a complain to UN in regard to my husband."

"I want UN to assume responsiblity and help find a solution for child support including education, housing food etc until he is 18. UN have to help me find a way to look after my son up to 18 years old."

On May 1th Lily went back to UN to meet the UN official from Human Right Unit in UNMIT.

"I have reported to UN in 2006 but received no response, and again in 2008 late December I reported again to Mr. Atul Khare but no result. Last few weeks ago I went to UN Human Rights office to submit my complain and they have my son's document so today I came here to get back the original documents."

"I complain to UN because my estranged ex husband was served as UN staff and he has been as UN staff in Liberia in the last three years, earning a big salary but refusing to take responsibility for his child."

"I want UN to assume some responsiblty for its irresponsible and cruel staff. I can't let this case down. UN must assume some responsiblity because I was married a UN staff. I married under UN flag."

The UN spokesperson Gyorgy Kakuk rejected to comment on the specific case of involvement a Bosnian UNPOL.

According to another source of Tempo Semanal within the UN,"there are many more cases like Lily's."

Ministry of Finance and World Bank Spending Donors' Money to Make Corruption, Collusion and Nepotism Worse in Timor-Leste

Emilia: I never interfered

The recent public disclosure of details regarding the Public Finance Management Capacity Building Project (PFMCBP) in the ministry of finance has become a scandal. According to the Australian Embassy, the PFMCBP, a Project worth USD$26 million over four years, administered by the World Bank, towards which the Australian government and taxpayers have contributed a total of Aust$13 million. The PFMCBP was designed to build capacity in the ministry of finance to enable it to manage Timor-Leste's public finances efficiently and transparently, and make it corruption free.

However, corruption is increasing and the PFMCBP and the ministry of finance have the responsibility to prevent this from happening, but some people are saying that it is being helped along instead. "The contrary has emerged instead. In my view some people are currently promoting corruption with their silence, when they themselves see wrongful conduct within the ministry, and the same in other ministries but they do not speak up, because they are scared of losing their huge salaries," said Augusto X. DC Costa, a youth from Díli University (on 24/4/09). "As a new nation in this millenium Timor-Leste has obtained support from many friendly nations including Australia."

"Australia wants to eradicate corruption, collusion and nepotism but on the other hand Australian taxpayers' money is empowering Corruption, Collusion and Nepotism in this country."

The Ministry of Finance has the responsibility to put in place the national budget and ensure that the moneys are spent properly. International advisors from the PFMCBP have the responsibility to lead the efforts for this objective, as advisors as well as functionaries. The Ministry of Finance is also the institution that oversees the sound and ethical expenditure of public moneys.

The Minister of Finance Emilia Pires says that, "Our advisors are also shared amongst line ministries. When line ministries have problems and need some advice or if they have complex matters they need help with, I lend them an advisor to work with them or they can come here to consult with them." According to Emilia, these advisors "can help contribute to economic growth of up to 12.3%. If you look at the IMF report it clearly says that the major contributor to this economic growth came from public spending."

In the last nine months, this newspaper has made a number of revelations regarding corruption in the ministry of health, agriculture, security and defence, education, public works and the private sector etc. Until today we have not seen with any certainty any evidence of any serious investigations having been initiated, of one minister accepting responsibility and resigning, nor has there been one formal indictment issued to date. However, this newspaper has instead been formally accused of criminal defamation because of corruption allegations it made against the Minister of Justice.

An Australian citizen, John Michael Peachey, is an advisor on procurement service reform with a total salary of USD$215,153.00 for one year's work from 27/10/08 – 27/10/09, but in reality many allegations have emerged regarding the tender process in central procurement, as well as in the procurement which has been decentralised to other ministries. "The Australian Government, the World Bank and international community know a lot regarding corruption because their advisors are in fact facilitating its occurrence, but the same people remain. What do Australian taxpayers and those of other nations think of this sort of conduct?" Augusto X. DC Costa asked. The PFMCBP is supposed to have an important role in preventing, uncovering and eradicating corruption. Apparently from the corruption allegations that have emerged it is constantly increasing and its prevalence is not diminishing in Timor-Leste.

This Project has not achieved good results. But the Minister of Finance defends it saying that, "This is from the past, I can accept that. Because I also asked the advisors this question when I came in." Emilia told the advisors after being sworn in, "When you people do not denounce that which comes into your knowledge then you are part of the problem."

"I have made many reforms to this Project we are speaking of, PFMCNP from the donors. I made big reforms in 2008, I changed many advisors."

"The advisors who are here now have come into the ministry in my time, that I can guarantee you there is not,……there is not the opportunity not to speak out. Because I have changed the system. Like, there are no longer advisors for the Timorese. They are advisors for this whole place."

"I am happy with their work because they have shown that there have been results."

The Minister stated that these very large salaries are needed to obtain good advisers. But the issue is what results have these advisors given to date to this nation? If you look carefully the international advisors that Timor-Leste has been able to get, they are in fact ones who are heavily compromised. Commenting on who recommended the high salaries the Minister denied knowledge of them, "Regarding their salaries, that involves individual negotiations and they compete with the international market." "I only know that if we do not pay them, another government will pay. Other countries will pay because my advisors, some came from Iraq, some from India, some from Australia and some from all over the place, America itself."

The Australian government, the World Bank and the Ministry of Finance has also said that the high salaries are necessary to obtain quality advisors to come work for the PFMCBP so as to build sound capacity in public finance management. With the very big contracts that the PFMCBP gives out, starting from USD$150,000 – USD$500,000 per annum, Timor-Leste has the right to expect that they have made strong efforts in the fight against corruption. However, their inaction in the ministries in which they currently work, and that of the government that asked for their assistance, is making people think that they are indeed compromised because they have to get the minister's sign off to be able to continue working and keep receiving their high salaries.

Rodney Lewis, is a senior legal advisor, with a contract to work 414 days and receiving USD$588,373.00. The Minister says she has no knowledge of a letter sent by the World Bank to the Minister for Finance with a message regarding to Mr. Lewis. "I do not remember that. But I only know that Mr. Rodney Lewis came with a very high recommendation."

"If the World Bank did in fact send this letter, I do not recall but they are still paying him now so they must agree. So they must acknowledge his skills. Because of this they have approved his recruitment."

These advisors "can help to contribute to economic growth of up to 12.3%. If you look at the IMF report it says clearly there that the major contribution to this economic growth comes from public spending."

Minister Emilia Pires rejects that she made recommendations regarding the salaries of international salaries. "That's a lie. Sometimes these advisors go to poor countries and just write reports." She said she never suggested a high salary for the international advisors. "My responsibility is to lower the salaries but I also have to be realistic that Timor cannot dictate to the rest of the world."

Michael Francino, is an advisor for Financial Management Planning, with a contract to work for 260 pays (of which he is required to be present in Timor-Leste for 60 days) with a salary of USD$589,449. Michael had worked in Díli before during UNTAET times. According to this newspapers sources he is also a good friend of the Minister's and in the past the two of them presented a paper together at New York University.

Francis Sekandi, is a senior legal advisor with a contract to work 272 days for a salary of USD$424,427.00. What have they done to combat corruption? What advice have this whole bunch of consultants given the Ministry of Finance for the millions and millions that has been paid out for their very high salaries.

The salaries of the three advisors mentioned above can give work for 1400 youth to dig road drainage for one whole year. Australian, Graham Daniel has worked 180 days in one year in 2008-2009, earning USD$296,361.00 which can perhaps provide work for 260 rural workers in one year. According to The Australian newspaper (25/04/09) when asked if he thinks Timorese would be shocked at how much he earned if they were aware of it, Mr. Daniel said "They shouldn't be made aware of it. I wouldn't be the most highly paid person in Timor. Its consistent with what I've been paid in other countries. My contract is certainly fairly high, but others are getting a lot more."

There are allegations that the PFMCBP is a Project that the Minister of Finance is using to give work to her friends – who do not have relevant qualifications – and have more interest in hiding the truth than to perform their designated role. Allegations of nepotism and corruption have also arisen regarding the procedures that were used to hire advisors. On the 7th of February 2008 the World Bank sent a letter to the Office of the Minister for Finance noting that the recruitment process for Mr. Lewis did not comply with World Bank procedures and rules, stating "the criteria used in the evaluation are not in accordance with paragraph 5.2 of the Consultant Guidelines, which states that the selection shall be based on the consultants qualifications."

But nobody knows why the World Bank gave this consultant a contract. Perhaps it is because the Bank is worried about losing their presence in Timor-Leste that they do not know how to say no to wrongful conduct, which they have uncovered themselves.

FRETILIN alleges, "Perhaps it is because they have been friends from a long time ago?"

More so, PFMCBP gave a one year contract with a salary of USD$219,765.00 to Ines Almeida as Special Parliamentary Liaison Advisor to the Minister.

FRETILIN alleges that Ms. Almeida is a friend of the Minister's from a long time ago. They also question one thing that many people do not even know, that Ms. Almeida never finished her university studies but the Minister and the World Bank still considered that she had the capacity to give world-class advice to the Minister. Five PFMCBP staff that are also friends with Ines Almeida were the ones who evaluated the four competing candidates on 26/06/08. In their recommendations the commission praised Ines Almeida's strength to bring golden advice to the Ministry although her CV says that Ms. Almeida never completed her studies.

"The panel believed that Ms. Almeida has the right combination of qualifications, skills and work experience to allow her to deliver the expected tasks and functions of the position," wrote the persons who now work together with Ines Almeida and who were also members of the panel for the recruitment process. "Prior to competing for the position in question Ines was a media monitor advisor where she provided concise news summaries to the Minister from local and international media. Her involvement and familiarity of the workings of the Ministry of Finance gave her the advantage over the rest of the candidates for the position." They explain further that, "Ms. Ines is currently performing the role of Media Monitoring Advisor where she provides concise news summaries to the Minister.

On the 28/06/08 Santina Cardoso gave a briefing to the Minister regarding Ines' selection seeking the Minister's approval. On the 02/07/08 Minister Emilia signed the approval for the position of a PLA for her media advisor.

PFMCBP also gave a contract with a salary of USD$24,000.00 for 90 days work to Maria Gloria do Castro Hall as an administrative services specialist, and afterwards was hired as a Property and Assets Advisor for 18 months with a salary of USD$204,986.00.

The Terms of Reference for this position demanded that Castro Hall be able to give "policy and technical advice to the Minister of Finance on matters relating to the Ministry's assets and properties." What is very strange is that according to Castro's CV, she never finished her university studies and in fact, her experience is only as a translator, laboratory technician and solidarity activist.

Once again the opposition bench alleged that she has also been a long time friend of the Minister's, just like Ms. Almeida. In a press release of 2 April 2009, the FRETILIN opposition wrote that they were "concerned that especially some multilateral development partners have conducted themselves with questionable transparency and appear to have been too willing and malleable in acceding to the engagement of "advisors" and "consultants" with doubtful, inappropriate, inadequate and even non-existent technical expertise or relevant work experience, simply because of personal or political connections to the de facto government." Opposition Leader in the Parliament, Aniceto Guterres, said that he is very concerned with the recruitment process for international advisors to the Ministry of Finance. "There are clearly signs of nepotism and corruption," he alleges.

"Are these people really qualified to do these Jobs in order to have been hired or was it just that politicians did everything they could to make sure they got the jobs despite not being qualified?"

"We cannot agree either with the high salaries which the Minister herself has recommended for them when you compare it with their very limited qualifications and work experience."

Timor-Leste Republican Party President, Joao Mariano Saldanha as a Portuguese citizen who lives in California Street, Culuhun, Dili. Timor-Leste, currently is a senior advisor on economic management to the Ministry of Finance and earned USD$154,525.00 salary from the World Bank for 12 months work.

However, the World Bank declined to give a NOL/No Objection Letter because the Ministry of Finance proposed a salary that was sky high for this Portuguese person as it wrote in a letter from the World Bank written on 06/08/09 responding to the request for an NOL from the PFMCBP implementing officer in the Ministry of Finance on the 29/07/08/.

"The World Bank is unable to provide a no objection to the MOF's proposal to sign the contract with Dr. João Saldanha for a total contract value of USD$210,525.00," wrote Doug Porter, Team Manager for the World Bank.

These negotiations were stretched out for another two months and because of this on 27/08/09 the Ministry of Finance on behalf of the Minister demanded an immediate response on the NOL from the Bank. "The Minister of Finance would appreciate your soonest possible non-objection to the recruitment of Mr. João Saldanha. Ph.D. as Senior Management Advisor (to the Minister) on Policy Analysis of the Ministry of Finance," begged this letter from the Ministry of Finance to the World Bank.

Because that source from which the Money was to be extracted remained silent then on the 11/08/08 a letter came flying out of the ministers realm, jumping over the Government Palace and Parliament House to Lecidere knocking on the door of the World Bank. "Mr. Saldanha has accepted what we regard as a reasonable accommodation on the terms of his employment," was written on this letter that was signed by Michael Francino, a PFMCBP advisor to the Minister.

Timorese businessman Rui Castro Said that he feels ashamed for these Timorese who have only one body, but three or four souls. "There are some Timorese who during Indonesian time used Indonesian passports, and denied their country and now are advisors to the Minister of Finance but using instead a Portuguese passport in order to receive the salary of a Foreigner, just like those who previously whilst in other countries made out that they were in fact the true Timorese but now they turn themselves into foreigners in their own countries. They shame us they do," he said.

He also commented on the World Bank which screams against corruption on the face of it, but behind the scenes they let these things happen because corruption will become a project for them in the future, and so they are happy to use the Timorese with two travel passes. "It is unjust for the World Bank to support Timorese who want to use foreign passports to receive foreign salaries. This shows that the World Bank is also partaking in the process of strengthening and nurturing corruption," said Rui Castro in Díli.

Timorese citizens recognise nepotism when they see it being practiced.

Australian taxpayers will also recognise it when they see their Money is being wasted and corruptly used.

In truth the World Bank has an obligation to speak out now, according to their espoused transparency and good governance values. But the World Bank Manager in Timor-Leste, Antonio Franco prefers to remain silent. Though he prefers to remain silent, Timor-Leste's Minister for Finance Emilia Pires speaks out over the recruitment of international advisors including some Timorese. "I have never interfered with the recruitment process." Bravely Emilia challenged others to present proof. "To those who say I have engaged in KKN, I ask where is your evidence?" She explained, "I don't like people just accusing me because I know what I have done, and when I took over this Ministry I received a heavy burden because the AMP wanted to undertake reform."
