Oxfam | Chief Exec denies sex scandal cover-up

Oxfam’s Chief Executive, who vowed to clean up the charity following the Haiti sex scandal last year, has been caught up in a similar case with his former workplace.

The Telegraph reports that Danny Sriskandarajah, who joined the firm last year, promised ‘systematic and cultural changes’ at the charity, after the former Chief and his deputy quit.

However, a previous employee at the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) has revealed that while under Sriskandarajah’s leadership in 2009, a senior figure was allowed to ‘quietly resign’ after it was found he had paid for sex during taxpayer-funded trips to Amsterdam and LA.
