CNN.com - Annan 'disappointed' son didn't tell all

CNN.com - Annan 'disappointed' son didn't tell all - Nov 29, 2004: "Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Monday he was 'disappointed and surprised' to learn that his son, Kojo, had remained on the payroll of a company involved in the Iraq oil-for-food program, the subject of several corruption probes.

Kojo Annan received money for consulting work done in Africa for Geneva, Switzerland-based Cotecna Inspection, which was hired to verify whether food, medicine and other goods entering Iraq were on the approved list under the $64 billion oil-for-food program.

The United Nations previously said the payments stopped after Kojo Annan left the firm in 1997."
