NEW YORK: United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres asked a top official at a U.N. agency to resign Saturday, shortly after The New York Times published an article describing how the agency had given out $61 million in loans and grant money to a single British family, according to a senior UN official.
The United Nations Office for Project Services, a little-known agency for operational projects, ventured into territory no other UN agency had entered: teaming up with the private sector for profit in 2015 by operating like an investment bank.
