Pfizer CEO going to Voodoo show in India?

I have received reports from inside Pfizer that Pfizer CEO Jeff Kindler may be sighted in India during the next few days, which is about three weeks after I revealed the Pfizer India finance scandal and two weeks after Pfizer CEO Alan Levin "resigned." (Link here).

According to my sources Kindler's jet is expected to touch Indian soil in Mumbai on Saturday evening.

On Sunday presentations by key executives at Pfizer India have been scheduled, and Monday he is expected to travel to Delhi with Pfizer India CEO Kewal Handa to meet with government officials to discuss patent issues, drug exclusivity, price controls, government drug budgets.

Kindler might also have a special new agenda item for Indian authorities: Tax incentives for disposing company properties at 10% of market value.

Kindler can be identified wearing a turban with a hidden camera with the Pfizer-India spy chief sniffing at his feet . . . Yes Saar, Yes Sir.

At the end of the meetings, liquor-bottles (sorry, Diwali sweets), hidden in the turbans, will be distributed and followed by a Voodoo show. My source wasn't 100% sure on the Voodoo show, but thinks it would be a good idea, considering recent allegations of gurus and Voodoo practice in Pfizer India's finance department.

Pay bonanza at Pfizer. Again.

Pfizer Vice Chairman Karen Katen is taking off with $76 million in her pockets, according to the WSJ.

And CEO Jeff Kindler gets a 36% base-pay raise for 2007 and takes home a total compensation valued at $11.4 million for 2006, according to AP.

For some reason Pfizer's sales reps are not amused. More here.

Oh, and by the way, here is Pfizer's share price development over the last five years, compared to the AMEX pharmaceutical index:



Finally, don't miss PharmaGiles' send off of Katen!
