Wolfowitz defiant after promoting girlfriend

WORLD Bank president Paul Wolfowitz said he plans to stay in his job as employees demand he quit over his role in the promotion of his girlfriend.

“I believe in the mission of this organisation and I believe I can carry it out,” Wolfowitz told a press conference in Washington after the semiannual meetings of the bank and the International Monetary Fund.

“This is important work and I intend to continue it.’
