A Swiss company that won a lucrative U.N. oil-for-food contract agreed to continue paying U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's son for four years after he resigned because he possessed "sensitive information," about its operations, The Post has learned.WHAT! Kojo took hush money? I'm shocked and appalled! How could this happen with the world's best hope for freedom, love and harmony? I'm devastated.
A copy of the controversial "no-compete," agreement between Annan's 29-year-old son, Kojo, and Cotecna Inspections SA — which led to payments of $2,500 a month until February of this year — was turned over to congressional committees under a recent subpoena and reviewed by The Post.
The agreement was written by Cotecna CEO Robert Massey on Jan. 11, 1999, less than two weeks after the firm won a $4.8 million contract to inspect and authenticate shipments of humanitarian goods entering Iraq under the oil-for-food program.
