Paul Wolfowitz, World Bank president and member of the Bush Cheney inner circle, has become embroiled in a deep ethical scandal involving a woman he is "romantically involved with". Apparently, the foreign national World Bank staffer has received huge salary increases and is now earning $193,000 per year, which is more than the salary of the secretary of state!
The World Bank’s staff association had said Shaha Ali Riza, who remained on the bank’s payroll while working at State for the Middle East Partnership Initiative, had received $61,000 in raises since she left, a sum the association said is out of line with bank rules governing salary increases.
The Wall Street Journal
has the full story.
