'Impactante conflicto de intereses' que Tlaleng Mofokeng asesore a la ONU mientras se postula para alcaldesa de Johannesburgo, dice experto
"Incluso si hubiera renunciado justo antes, la transición inmediata de un mandato independiente de la ONU a un cargo político partidista seguiría planteando serias dudas sobre su independencia e imparcialidad", según Hillel Neuer
Valoración
A conflict of interest expert has raised alarms that Tlaleng Mofokeng is simultaneously advising the United Nations on a health mandate while actively running for mayor of Johannesburg. The concern centers on whether her role as a UN independent expert can remain impartial when she is pursuing partisan political office in South Africa. The situation undermines trust in the UN's ability to maintain neutral and apolitical advice from its special rapporteurs. Watch for whether the UN takes any action to address the perceived conflict or if Mofokeng clarifies her status before the election.
