Cotecna = Kojo Annan's Instrument for World-Wide Corruption
COTECNA INSPECTION S.A. was incorporated in 1974 in Fribourg and 1975 in Geneva, Switzerland. Initially, COTECNA specialised in the inspection of a variety of goods on behalf of private traders and governmental entities involved in international trade. In 1984, COTECNA INSPECTION S.A. in partnership with OMIC International Ltd. was appointed by the Nigerian government for the Preshipment Inspection of the country's imports, in order to curb the foreign exchange evasion that was draining the country's resources. Since then, COTECNA has specialised in government mandated services which have evolved towards reducing the appeal for importers of evading foreign exchange and increasing Customs revenue.Since the early eighties in partnership with OMIC International Ltd., a Japan based inspection company, with whom COTECNA has a long-standing relationship under a unique joint-venture operation. Both companies' policy is, and has always been, to achieve excellence by employing highly skilled and specialised staff, trained and experienced in all aspects inherent in the preshipment inspection activities. Currently, the COTECNA Group has a combined workforce of about 4,000 personnel in over 100 offices and holds 13 government inspection scheme contracts. Over 4,000 personnel, one of whom was Kojo Annan. After establishing his evil influence directly within Cotecna, Kojo Annan left Cotecna 13 months before the UN awarded Cotecna a oil-for-food contract. The obvious reason for the award was that Cotecna submitted the lowest bid, but the real, secret reason was to allow Kojo Annan to skim huge profits from the deal.
