UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon Should have thought before deciding

We want Anna Tibaijuka Back as the Head Of Nairobi Office. The replacement of the Director General of the United Nations Office in Nairobi Prof Anna Tibaijuka is unfair and a very bad move by the UN secretary General Mr Ban Ki Moon.

Although Prof Tibaijuka retains her post at the UN Habitat there was absolutely no reason for her to be replaced by a man in the name of Mr Achim Steiner(the UN Environmental Programme Executive Director)The reason i say this is that Mrs.Tibaijuka’s leadership has been productive and since nobody has raised any complaint against the Professor there is no reason why she should be replaced.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon Should have thought before deciding

UN Is a body that is on the front line of the fight against marginalization of women in society and this a lone should have given the UN secretary General a point to reason, it is very unfair to take such a position from a woman (who was the only one in such a position in the whole world) and give it to a man without supporting reasons which naturally shouldn’t be there because Mrs.Tibaijuka was appointed by the same UN and has not failed the International Body.

We hear the world over,women should be part and parcel of the running of governments,societies,organizations and general affairs that affect us all,this has in the past been an effort being supported by the UN with some laws even being put in place,it is very irresponsible for the same organ that claims to fight for the rights of women to undermine the same.

I have always been proud of Anna Tibaijuka for what she has done for the society and also for her struggles and achievements,she should be reinstated back to her position.

Duncan you are right,especially when the International Women’s Day is about to be celebrated.

Ban Ki Moon should change his decision.

For sure her replacement is suspect since even the manner at which it was done was not so open but this shows what the world is like even the most respectable organisations we presume as fair enough to set examples still drown in a pool of politics, there was more than meets the eye anyway in the whole process but what to do.

I take this as an insensitivity by men of this generation to recognize the role played by women in the development of todays world. Tibaijuka was an asset to the UN and not a liability.
