These claims of unethical and unfair employment<br>
practices at the UN office in Nairobi have been around<br>
for a very long time. When I was at The Standard three<br>
years ago, we actually undertook an investigation of<br>
the allegations of rampant sex-for-employment and<br>
nepotism. Cant remember now if we published that<br>
story, but a few people seemed quite culpable. It<br>
appears there is something not quite right with the<br>
prestigious institution, and the top dogs there are<br>
well advised to approach this matter judiciously.<br>
