If they didn't have any political godfathers, then they should have prudently declined to apply for the job (like me ;-)

Instead lets congratulate the new DG because economist, engineer, lawyer, informatician or whatever - he did go to school and has the experience to deal with the office. Our role may be more useful in demanding deliverables  from him rather splitting hair on why he was appointed and we were left out.

Hi Walu,

I agree in part with you, about the demand for deliverables from him,
but I still stand against the mode of appointment, where I'll stand
with the other side of this debate.
I sign out of this  thread with the following quote:

"When we blindly adopt any religion, political system, or literary
dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow."
