Plot Against WHO Director by Sophie Putka, Enterprise & Investigative Writer, MedPage Today October 4, 2023

Documents reviewed by Bloomberg reveal a coordinated attempt by the Ethiopian government and 2019 Nobel Peace Prize winner Abiy Ahmed, PhD, its prime minister, to discredit World Health Organization director Tedros Ghebreyesus, PhD, MSc.

Before Ghebreyesus’ reappointment in 2022, the administration pushed allegations of sexual misconduct and embezzlement against the leader, detaining his family members in Ethiopia and subjecting them to harassment, despite a lack of evidence supporting the claims, the article stated.

The conflict stems from Ghebreyesus’ affiliation with an opposing political party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, that previously governed the country, Bloomberg reported. In 2020, the Tigray war broke out, killing hundreds of thousands just as the WHO’s role grew more important than ever given the global pandemic.

No charges have been filed so far, but documents include bank statements, handwritten witness accounts, and emails among investigators, witnesses, and banks, and were sent to judicial officials and federal police. The allegations, which Ghebreyesus vehemently denies, include alleged illegal procurement of HIV test kits and epidemic drugs; enriching himself through contracts given out by the health ministry and the Pharmaceutical Supply Agency, including accepting a bribe; and harassing and assaulting women.

Bloomberg reported that so far, there is no evidence to back up these claims, and that the government’s intelligence unit requested financial details and bank statements related to Ghebreyesus, his family, and Tigrayan officials.

“When government officials subvert the fight against corruption and financial crime to settle political scores, it undermines the rule of law and is a setback to authentic good governance efforts,” Gabriel Bourdon-Fattal, director of programs at the French whistleblower organization that originally received the documents, said in a statement. According to Bloomberg, Ghebreyesus remains fearful of returning home because of arrests and actions against his family, though the investigation is no longer active.
