(Reuters photo)NEW YORK: The executive director of Oxfam International said on Sunday she was heartbroken by a sexual misconduct scandal in Haiti involving aid workers that prompted Britain’s government to threaten to cut off aid funding to charities. Winnie Byanyima, who became executive director of Oxfam International in 2013, said she was saddened by what took place in 2010 and that it could not happen under systems and rules put in place since. She said Oxfam would share with the relevant authorities all the information it had relating to the 2010 incident. “You know it’s not within our power to return people who are not our staff to Haiti to face prosecution,” she said.
