World Bank scandal - Wolfowitz must jump or be pushed

The United States has been vocal about the corruption at the United Nations Organisation, the World Bank, and other international institutions.

This has come back to haunt one of prime architects of US President George W Bush’s foreign policy.

Following his appointment as president of the World Bank in 2005 Paul Wolfowitz, a former US Deputy Secretary of Defence, set about cracking down on corruption by suspending aid to several countries without even consulting the board.
