Wolfowitz apologises over pay row

World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz has apologised for "mistakes" made over the promotion and pay of a ex-colleague with whom he is romantically involved.

Mr Wolfowitz's partner, Shaha Riza, was moved to the State Department when he took the Bank's top job in 2005.

But the bank's staff association says she then received pay rises and promotions which were "grossly out of line" with the Bank's staff rules.

The controversy comes ahead of joint World Bank and IMF spring meetings.

Mr Wolfowitz also said he would accept any remedy that the World Bank's Board proposed....

Just another right wing high values and ethics guy

pay her out of his own pocket. He needed someone else to pay her. Why doesn't that surprise me.

Wow, I started to think of other things to say, and I grossed myself out. Eewwwwww !

zalinda

it wasn't enough.

get his socks mended and suit cleaned with some of that money.

raises?

from the article:

When Mr Wolfowitz took over at the Bank in mid-2005, Ms Riza - then a Bank employee for eight years - was transferred to work for the US State Department, to avoid any conflict of interest.

But rapid rises in her tax-free World Bank salary to about $193,000 - more than the $186,000 Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice receives before tax - have aroused ire among other Bank employees.

Does anyone get this? If she worked for State, why was the World Bank paying her salary?
