Mr Bhupendra M Gandhi's letter (AV 27 Feb) makes further comments in response to my letter (AV 13) that corrected the incorrect information that he gave to AV readers in his original letter (AV Feb 6). Instead of being grateful to me, he has chosen to describe me as narrow minded. I should be grateful if AV readers could revisit these letters. Corruption and dishonesty are part of human nature and are present in developing and developed countries to some extent but no profession is “riddled with them” as Mr Gandhi states.
Mr Gandhi misinforms readers why I left Sudan. From 1960 to 1967 I was Assistant Chief Accountant at United States Agency for International Development. War broke out in June 1967 between Arabs and Israel. Diplomatic relations with USA were cut off overnight. I was offered the Chief Fiscal Officer position by United Nations. My appointment went to ILO Switzerland for approval. Meanwhile, I came to London in September 1967 for ACCA final exam and asked ILO to post reply to London. They did reply after six months advising me that quota for Indian nationals was already full. Gulf Oil Corporation employed me in London.
