Following the revelations about Oxfam in Chad and Haiti, charities were warned that funding could be cut if they did't shape up.
The British government has cut off funding to Oxfam following the aid worker sex scandal, until the charity can show it has made significant reforms.
International Development secretary Penny Mordaunt said Oxfam is barred from receiving public money until the Department for International Development (DfID) is satisfied that they can meet the “high standards we expect”.
The charity received £31.7 million from the government in 2016, a figure representing around 8 per cent of its total income of £409 million that year.
Ms Mordaunt said in a statement Friday: “My priority is to deliver for the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, while keeping people safe from harm. We want to ensure that programmes we are already financially committed to are being delivered appropriately by Oxfam or any other DFiD partner.
[Not Getting It]
In an interview on Friday, Oxfam GB boss Mark Goldring told the Guardian he couldn’t understand “the intensity and the ferocity” of the criticism levelled at the charity, suggesting that no one “murdered babies in their cots”.

It's no wonder Mordaunt turned off the tap....
Three members of the controversial Oxfam Haiti team that was under investigation for sexual exploitation and other breaches physically threatened a colleague to ensure that person’s silence, according to the charity’s own inquiry into the claims.
The confidential report, finally released on Monday as part of Oxfam’s efforts to draw a line under the crisis that has engulfed it for a week, contains damning new details of serious misconduct in Oxfam’s operations following Haiti’s devastating earthquake.
In addition to the breaches of using sex workers and physical threats, a staff member was dismissed for using the charity’s computing equipment to download “pornographic and illegal material” to a laptop. The Guardian understands the “illegal material” to have been pirated videos.
...the Guardian understands the staff members disciplined for improper behaviour came from across all areas of the team’s operations, from managers to assistants.
Significantly, the report also describes in detail the controversial deal that allowed the disgraced country director, Roland van Hauwermeiren, to quietly resign in exchange for helping with the inquiry.

What a sociopath.
