Notability

I have worked with Minouche and so can vouch for her notability. She is globally influential in development matters - just ask Nick Stern of the Stern Report who was her supervisor at the L.S.E.. I am adding some further links. You only have to Google her to establish notability. She is incidentally the highest ranking 'Muslim origin' public officer in the entire OECD group of countries and is of course one of the VERY few women in the grouping to have reached the highest civil service grade.

Neutrality and correction

My name is Marisol Grandon and I am a British civil servant working at the Department for International Development. I notice that this entry about Minouche Shafik has a factual inaccuracy. She has not had a chauffeur since January 2010.

I also note that the first paragraph of this entry is not written in the neutral tone set out in Wikipedia's guidance for biographies[of living persons].

It's a shame you removed the information from the first paragraph. I think it is quite note-worthy that such a great proportion of spending on international development goes straight into the pockets of fat cat bureaucrats like Shafik... Vorpaul (talk) 16:23, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shafik is not a "fat bureucrat", Cameron is.Other dictionaries are better (talk) 16:18, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No mention about the expenses issue in DFID under her watch or her political motivations at the expense of the poor she purports to serve?

Outside Observers

I have removed a comment that said outside observers rated DFID under Shafik's tenure as the best performing UK department.

The cited reference was to a Cilvil Service review (hardly 'Outside') that said nothing of the sort.

In usual circumspect civil service language it merely notes 'improvement'.
