World Bank
Integrity Investigation Department

Dear Sir

Thank you for your
letter below, but quite frankly, I do not believe you have taken my
allegations of widespread fraud seriously, never mind investigated thoroughly
as you claim. You didn’t even have the common courtesy to sign your
letter.

It beggars belief
how you can now claim the World Bank have investigated my fraud claims
“thorougly”, when you have not asked me one single question, you have
not contacted me by telephone or in person and you now claim a thorough
investigations took place.

At best, your
letter is unadulterated hogwash or it is part of wider conspiracy to pervert
the course of justice and cover up serious economical crimes within the
World Bank/IFC, I suggest the latter.

My allegations of
such widespread fraud are not isolated to the Chad/Cameroon Pipeline; they were
directed to the Philippines also. However, the World Bank banned
contractors list of 500 plus would suggest your procurement department might be
seen by some people to be guilty of dubious behaviour.

I now wish my
complaint to be elevated to the President of the World Bank please.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield

Integrity Communication #32

Dear Mr. Dransfield,

We acknowledge receipt of your recent emails of May 8, May 12 and May
13, 2014 regarding
your longstanding concerns on the Chad/Cameroon pipeline project. The
allegations you previously raised in 2002 were thoroughly reviewed by INT at
the time and the matter was closed. We again reviewed your report in February
2014 and found no basis to open an investigation as IBRD and IFC
funds are no longer involved in the Chad/Cameroon project at this
time, and the statute of limitations has expired. The information you provide
here now is neither new nor directly related to
the Chad/Cameroon project. We consider the matter closed and will not reopen
the review.

Please do not “reply” to this message. If you have questions or
further information regarding this matter, please send us a report referencing
the Integrity Communication number you previously received. The additional
information can be sent via the Online Integrity Complaint Form here. This form can also be found on the
Integrity Vice Presidency website at: http://www.worldbank.org/integrity

Sincerely,

Attn Rt Hon Mr
Christopher Grayling MP

Lord Chancellor
and Secretary of State for Justice

Dear Mr Grayling

Please see my
following letter dated 21st Mar 14 addressed to your colleague Mr Simon Hughes (please see posting below) .
Notwithstanding the merits of my allegations, the gravity of my assertions, it behoves Mr Hughes to acknowledge my letter. Ditto for common
courtesy!

It is demonstrably
evident that the ICO are in complete meltdown and Mr Christopher Graham, the Information
Commissioner, might well appear to be above the law in the manner the ICO are handing
down vexatious decisions (VD) on a whim.

Enough is enough,
and this VD nonsense must stop now and the buck stops at your desk.

For your
information and immediate action please.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield

Dear Mr Bradshaw

I would be most
grateful if you would write to the Rt Hon Simon Hughes and ask him why he has
ignored my letter below ref the meltdown of the ICO.

Owing to the
gravity of my allegations, it behoves a response from Simon Hughes.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

INFORMATIONS COMMISSIONERS OFFICE.

Ministry

London,

SW1H 9AJ

Attn The
Rt Hon Simon Hughes MP. Secretary of State for Justice

Dear Sir

I write
to you in your capacity of Secretary of State for Justice to inform you of a
complete meltdown of the Information Commissioners Office and call for a public
inquiry into the conduct of the Information Commissioner, Mr Christopher
Graham and the manner in which section 14(1) Vexatious Exemption decisions are
handed down as a “get-out-of jail” trump card by rogue public authorities
on a whim.

In
particular, I refer to the Upper Tribunal decision GIA/3037/2011 dated 28th Jan 2013, Dransfield v ICO
& Devon County Council. That case is still before the Court of Appeal under
C3/2013/1855.

By
virtue of the fact the GIA/3037/2011 is still navigating its way through the
Court of Appeal process, it cannot be deemed as a Statutory Court
Authority/Precedence, and any use of the GIA/3037/2011 is a breach of GOOD LAW
and Contempt of Court.

The
GIA/3037/2011 has now been use unlawfully nearly 200 times by various public authorities,
some of which should know better and certainly be aware of Sub-Judice,Stare
Decisis, Due Process and common sense.

Rogue
Public Authorities include but not limited to are :

1.Crown
Prosecution Service .CPS.

2.Home
Office

3.Ministry
of Justice.

4.Wilshire
Police Authority.

5.Devon County Council

6.Carmarthen County Council

7.Stockport Borough
Council

8.Cheshire County
Council.

8.Hartlepool County
Council.

9.Walberswick
Parish Council

10
Wirral County Council.

11.Dorset County Council

12.Information Commissioners Office

It is
particularly distressing that the ICO are one of the main culprits to use the
vexatious trump card on a whim and their 37 page Vexatious Guidelines (May2013 ,version1)is
also based on my case GIA/3037/2011 Dransfield Case.

The ICO
have shown flagrant disregard for their Mission Statement which is to “uphold
the FOIA 2000”.

On the
contrary, the ICO have knowingly and wilfully circumvented section 77 of the
FOIA 2000 for self-gain by their flagrant abuse of section 14(1) Vexatious
Exemptions.

It
beggars belief the ICO would attempt to use the Vexatious Exemption under section
14(1) as their first choice response exemption (weapon).

There is
prima facie evidence of a greater conspiracy between the ICO/FTT/UT and rogue
PAs nationwide to use my ROGUE GIA/3037/2011 as a Court Precedence.

I fully
appreciate the gravity of my allegations, which can be verified by a
simple ocular inspection of the ICO decisions records from Jan 2013 to 20th Mar 2014..

Recommendations/Suggestion.

Call for
the immediate suspension of the Information Commissioner Christopher Graham and
the Upper Tribunal Judge Nicholas Wikeley OBE.

Establish
exactly how many times GIA/3037/2011 has been used as a Court Authority since
Feb 2013 to 20th Mar 2014. This
would take a Legal Graduate about 1/2 day maximum, a simple search in the ICO
Website decision search engine would reveal the rogue decisions.

What is
particularly distressing is how many times the GIA/3037/2011 has been used by
other rogue PAs which have not reached the ICO appeal system. This could be
dozens or ? hundreds!

For your
information, there is a FTT Hearing in London next Mon 24th Mar in which the
ICO and the Devon County Council are solely reliant upon this rogue GIA/3037/2011
and I invite you to attend this hearing to see your Judiciary at work first
hand. The very least you can do is to send one of your legal observers to this
hearing. This FTT hearing next Mon, at best, is a kangaroo court and at worst,
a tool to assist fraud and perversion of Justice; I suggest the latter. The FTT
hearing case ref is EA/2010/0152, which is under its 6th retrial and has
been a live case since Feb 2008. God only knows the true cost to the Public
Purse for this case.

I would
be most grateful if you would forward this letter to the Lord Chief Justice and
the Parliamentary Justice Select Committee.

With
thanks

I look
forward to your response

Yours
sincerely

Alan M
Dransfield
