GENEVA (AP) — The board of a $23 billion health fund trying to restore its image fired its top internal watchdog, whose office has been uncovering financial losses.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria said in a statement Thursday that its board had terminated the employment of Inspector General John Parsons "after a careful review of his performance, which was found to be unsatisfactory." It said this was based on performance and independent peer reviews and a report by the board committee that oversees Parsons' office.
