Is this corruption?

Posted on June 16th, 2007 by Marian Houk

The U.S. Department of State announced Friday that the winner of the World Food Prize will be announced at a ceremony at the State Department on 18 June.

“Also participating in the ceremony will be World Food Program Executive Director Josette Sheeran …”

Josette Sheeran formerly worked at the U.S. Department of State, before being appointed head of the World Food Program (WFP).

If she hadn’t been named to the WFP post, would this ceremony be held at the State Department?

The U.S. State Department announcement continues:Â Â “The World Food Prize is the foremost international award recognizing — without regard to race, religion, nationality, or political beliefs — the achievements of individuals advancing human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world”…

So, the U.S. State Department is doing free publicity for the WFP
