History[edit]
Transparency International was founded in May 1993. According to political scientist Ellen Gutterman, "TI's presence in Germany, and indeed its organizational development and rise from a small operation to a prominent international TNGO, benefited from the activities and personal, elite connections of at least three key German individuals: Peter Eigen, Hansjoerg Elshorst, and Michael Wiehen".[13]
Peter Eigen, a former regional director for the World Bank, is recognized as a founder, along with others.[13] Michael Wiehen was a World Bank official at Washington, D.C.[14] Hansjörg Elshorst was managing director of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) (German Agency for Technical Cooperation). Other founding board members included John Githongo (former Permanent Secretary for Ethics and Governance in the office of the President, Kenya),[15] General Electric lawyer Fritz Heimann,[16] Michael J. Hershman of the U.S. military intelligence establishment (now President and CEO of the Fairfax Group),[17] Kamal Hossain (Bangladesh's former Minister of Foreign Affairs),[15] Dolores L. Español (the Philippines' former presiding Judge of Regional Trial Court),[15] George Moody Stuart (sugar industrialist),[18] Gerald Parfitt (Coopers & Lybrand, then PricewaterhouseCoopers in Ukraine),[19] Jeremy Pope (New Zealand activist and writer), and Frank Vogl, a senior official at the World Bank and head of Vogl Communications, Inc., which has "provided advice to leaders of international finance".[20][21][22][23][24]
