Wolfowitz 'broke World Bank laws'
Source: BBC

A panel of executives at the World Bank says its President Paul Wolfowitz broke bank rules in awarding a substantial pay rise to his girlfriend.

The directors said the full board of the World Bank should consider whether Mr Wolfowitz was still able to provide effective leadership.

The board has the power to dismiss Mr Wolfowitz, reprimand him or report a lack of confidence in his leadership.

1. I really do not see Wolfowitz resigning
It will be interesting to watch to see if the international community lets him stay or kicks him out on his well oiled butt.
