Dr. Mark Feinberg, M.D., Ph.D., is president and CEO of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI)
This site yesterday exposed the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative - IAVI's mistreatment of staff.
Read more here: Donor Fraud: International AIDS Vaccine Initiative – Chapter 1 of 3 In this second part, staff expose more mistreatment by one manager Kundai Chinyenze who works with certain Kenyan doctors to infringe on the privacy of the staff members by asking the doctors to disclose their medical records.
Why does he do this? Read below:
Chapter 2: 'UNACCEPTABLE WORKPLACE BEHAVIORS':
There are rampant incidences of MIS-USE OF AUTHORITY at IAVI. Staff have been closely following issues related to abuse of office and at IAVI and discrimination of staff, especially of Kenyan nationality, especially by staff of foreign nationality working with cahoots with either the Human Resource office in New York or other staff Locally.
Continued staff concerns and dissatisfaction with the casual manner in which IAVI has been handling these very critical staff issues is on the rise.
Cnyakundi.com is aware that concerned IAVI Staff have consistently raised issues over the last couple of years and months but these have not been acted upon. There is rampant mis-use of Authority by the Kenyan Director (Dr. Anatoli Kamali) who colludes with Junior staff to undermine and terminate contracts of other staff; Anatoli continues to commit injustices on Kenyan staff.
Dr. Anatoli Kamali, staff are concerned about how the organisation and you, continue to violate the Kenya employment regulations and perpetrate numerous improper labour practices that borders on corrupt morals at IAVI.
What concerns most is even with senior management being aware of such malpractices, Anatoli continues to enjoy his status at IAVI and continues to earn from Donor money in complete disregard of local regulation.
There is also rampant misuse of Authority by Infringement on privacy of staff by other senior staff, one notorious one being the Medical Director, Dr. Kundai Chinyenze. This high-level unprofessionalism and misuse of authority and impunity as practiced by this senior staff member within the office and condoned by the Director of the Kenya office, (Dr. Anatoli Kamali) and HQ HR is sickening. Particularly serious is the practice of visiting staff personal doctors secretly by senior staff within the Nairobi office and using medical information obtained to recommend termination of staff contracts.
The IAVI Medical Director (Dr. Kundai Chinyenze), who to make matters worse is a foreign national and is known to at times work illegally in Kenya without a valid work permit is particularly notorious of perpetrating such acts.
We established that she works in cahoots (with) and enjoys the protection (of) Anatoli and some senior staff within the HR department because despite reports made in the past about this bad behaviour, no action has been taken on her and her accomplices. During such secret visits, Dr. Kundai (and her accomplices) usually seek details about staff health status/conditions for malicious purposes and we highly suspect that information obtained is used to discriminate against staff and a basis for staff termination. Besides being infringement on staff confidentiality/privacy, it is truly against employment act in Kenya. The Final Chapter The final chapter 3 will expose unethical research practices and money laundering.
