Dominica has nominated Baroness Patricia Scotland as their candidate for the election of a new Commonwealth secretary general.

Scotland's campaign for the post of secretary general is financed by some interesting individuals and corporations.

One sponsor is Ron Wahid, an American citizen, born in Bangladesh, and chairman and CEO of RJI Capital Services Ltd.

The Secretariat is the central administrative hub for the Commonwealth, made up of 53 countries - many of them former British colonies - which encompass almost a third of the world's population.
The critical report may raise fresh questions about whether Lady Scotland will be given a second term of office by Commonwealth heads of government when they meet in Rwanda later this year.
