The United States Government has rejected plans by the African Development Bank’s board to end an investigation into its President, Akinwumi Adesina, and called for an independent probe into allegations against him.
But in a letter by US Treasury Secretary, Stephen Mnuchin dated 22nd May and addressed to Niale Kaba, chair of AfDB’s board of governors, rejected the findings by the ethics committee of the bank that “totally exonerated” Adesina. However, Kaba confirmed receipt of the letter but refused to make additional comments.
Adesina, who has consistently denied the allegations, is the sole contender for the election into the AfDB’s presidency timed to hold at its annual general meeting this August.
