The main smear against me was that I had a history of disputes with people in my department and that I was not processing certain documents or dealing with systems in a timely way. Those were among the issues. They also said I didn't show up at some key meetings, or something.
Let me just review those with you briefly. There was one meeting when I had to fly home to see my mother, who is in a cancer hospice in Ottawa. I was on family leave and I did not attend an interview with National Public Radio in Washington, D.C., that I had arranged for President Jin. But the interview took place and he successfully communicated his story during that time. That, to me, speaks to the low character of the bank that they would do that.
I'm also in the communications job. In the comms job, there are all these media, all these NGO groups, all of these fires to put out. Believe me, at the AIIB there's never a dull moment when it comes to issues to deal with.
I should also point out that my department massively increased its budget under my leadership. I got six new head counts. I got approval to build a half million dollar media studio.
I might have been the last one to hand in my promotion request for my staff, or my budget request, but everything got through and everything was done by the deadline. Maybe my other DGs got theirs in first, but I guess I was busier than they.
