Unicongate Project unveils the systemic misconduct, extortion, and judicial manipulation perpetuated by the World Bank and its affiliates. From Afghanistan to the global stage, Unicon has faced relentless retaliation for its refusal to bribe or bend to corrupt demands. Unicongate exposes these institutional failures, aiming to rebuild international development with transparency, justice, and genuine integrity.
Unicon Ltd: Championing Integrity in Global Development
Established in 2006, Unicon Ltd. has committed itself to supporting the world’s most vulnerable populations by improving their livelihoods through enhanced healthcare, education, employment opportunities, and infrastructure development. With a mission rooted in integrity, Unicon has focused exclusively on projects backed by the world’s most reputable organisations, such as the World Bank and other multilateral development banks affiliated with the United Nations. At the time, Unicon believed these institutions shared its unwavering commitment to integrity.
Zero-Tolerance Policy on Corruption
In 2013, Unicon faced its first major challenge while working on the World Bank-financed Central Asia-South Asia Electricity Project (CASA-1000) in Afghanistan. Officials from the Afghan Ministry of Energy attempted to extort bribes. When Unicon refused, these officials retaliated by withholding payment for services already rendered by Unicon. Despite providing evidence of the extortion to both the Afghan minister and the World Bank, no action was taken. Unicon, standing firm on its principles, pursued compensation through international arbitration courts and won – though the World Bank refused to honour the ruling.
In 2018, Unicon again confronted extortion, this time from the Afghan central bank during another World Bank-financed project. Undeterred, Unicon pressed on, delivering results for the Afghan people without succumbing to corruption. Although the central bank eventually acknowledged its wrongdoing, the World Bank continued to distance itself from the issue.
A year later, in 2019, Unicon encountered another round of extortion during a gas-to-power project, also funded by the World Bank. Despite assurances from the Bank that Unicon would be protected, once all deliverables were submitted, the Bank quickly withdrew its support, leaving Unicon vulnerable to retaliation by corrupt officials. Again, Unicon turned to international arbitration and won, but the World Bank refused to comply with the decision.
Speaking Out Against Corruption
By 2020, Unicon had become increasingly vocal about the corruption it had witnessed, particularly surrounding the World Bank. When Unicon presented evidence linking Afghan President Ghani’s inner circle to corrupt activities, the World Bank retaliated with a barrage of false allegations, seemingly aimed at silencing the company. Over the past five years, the Bank employed all its resources in this campaign, inadvertently revealing its own deep-seated internal corruption. Rather than being intimidated, Unicon used this as an opportunity to gather further evidence, uncovering the full extent of the systemic fraud within the World Bank.
The True Cost of Institutional Corruption
The corruption is not limited to bribes in cash-filled envelopes. It manifests in more subtle, insidious ways – through the abuse of power, manipulation of legal systems, and suppression of justice. The corruption within the World Bank is far more damaging than that of individual states. It undermines global integrity, erodes trust in international institutions, and disproportionately harms vulnerable populations who rely on development efforts for better lives.
When those in positions of authority use their influence for personal or organisational gain, public trust in institutions crumbles. Corruption within judicial systems leads to the wrongful acquittal of the guilty and the unjust punishment of the innocent, creating an environment where the rule of law is an illusion. In all its forms, corruption weakens institutions, obstructs development, and fosters inequality.
Unicongate: Exposing Systemic Failures
Despite years of unfair and unjustified harassment, Unicon has gathered substantial evidence documenting the systemic failures that plague global development. Unicongate is a project that sheds light on the corrupt environments fostered by the World Bank and its affiliates. By exposing these unethical practices, we aim to spur the creation of a new system – one founded on integrity and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of those in need.
Unicon is unafraid to confront formidable adversaries in its pursuit of justice. We stand by our principles and will continue to fight for transparency, integrity, and genuine development.
In a world where norms are flipped askew,
Where right is wrong, and false seems true,
In the realm of Bank, where shadows creep,
A saga unfolds, in silence deep.
VP Diagne, in the spotlight’s glare,
Should’ve stepped down, in a just affair.
But in this World Bank’s twisted lore,
Corruption thrives, staining its core.
Fear clutches hearts of those aware,
Truth veiled by power’s daunting glare.
In halls of justice, where truth should shine,
The Bank’s misdeeds cloak every line.
Yet in shadows deep, a beacon bold,
UNICON stands tall, its story told.
Integrity its armour, courage its creed,
Defying corruption’s suffocating breed.
Standing tall, defying deceit’s sway,
UNICON’s resolve unwavering every day.
A lone sentinel in truth’s embrace,
Confronting the Bank’s disgrace.
