World Bank meets over Wolfowitz


If it is shown that Mr. Wolfowitz was instrumental in the promotion and increase in salary for no other reason than that he was involved with his partner, he must go!

There is no justification for his ´mistake´ and he must have known what he was doing.

I have supported his drive against corruption in World Bank projects and, if he does go, hope this is not forgotten by his successor. However, if found guilty, this will be a clear case of nepotism, the stuff he was said to be fighting.

Mr Wolfowitz has faced calls for his resignation over the promotion and pay of an ex-colleague with whom he is romantically involved.

He has apologised for his involvement in the negotiations and said he will accept any decision taken by the board.

Her promotion and pay rise has attracted strong criticism from staff within the Bank.
