Pakistan Kicks Out Bloomberg for Corruption

Pakistan has banned Bloomberg-funded NGOs for illegal activities like embezzlement and lack of government approval, risking money laundering violations. India also took action against Bloomberg NGOs. The WHO, funded by Bloomberg, has stayed silent. Meanwhile, the Philippines and India have faced issues with Bloomberg funding breaching laws. These incidents have led to backlash, such as the Philippines receiving a "Dirty Ashtray Award." The WHO's silence raises concerns about its relationship with Bloomberg and the impact on national sovereignty. Calls for the WHO to condemn such activities and uphold respect for national decisions have emerged.
