Halliburton Fires 2 for Alleged Ethics Breaches
From Associated Press
Halliburton Co. fired two consultants for behavior that it called unethical. They included the former chairman of a subsidiary under investigation in an alleged $180-million bribery scandal involving a natural-gas contract in Nigeria.
The Houston-based oil services conglomerate said it was “terminating all relationships” with consultant A. Jack Stanley, who retired in December 2003 as chairman of subsidiary KBR, formerly known as Kellogg, Brown & Root.
The company said it also fired a consultant identified only as a former employee of M.W. Kellogg Ltd., in which KBR has a 55% interest.
