December 02, 2004 Kofi and Kojo in Kahoots? Paper trails are killers The son of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan used his father's worldwide connections to wheel and deal with heads of state — at U.N. gatherings — on behalf of a controversial Swiss company that won a lucrative oil-for-food program contract, The Post has learned. The intense lobbying by Annan's 29-year old son, Kojo, was disclosed in a raft of internal company documents — including Kojo Annan's expense reports — that the company recently turned over to congressional committees under a subpoena. According to records reviewed by The Post, Kojo Annan, while working for the Cotecna firm, enjoyed extraordinary access to U.N. diplomats and other international dignitaries because of his father's position Kofi Annan had claimed earlier this week that he did not know the full extent of his son's dealings with Cotecna. But the documents indicate that the son of the U.N. secretary-general was clearly trading on his father's name to win business for Cotecna, where he worked from 1995 to 1998.
