JAMES WOLFENSOHN

 James Wolfensohn is a mass of contradictions. A


millionaire bon viveur who sees himself as the champion
of the poor; an Australian who took US citizenship so
allowing him to take the top job at the World Bank; a
former investment banker who criticises rich countries;
and a man paid $276,990 who worries about those living
on less than a dollar a day.
 He appears to live and breathe the sometimes fetid
atmosphere of development politics - controversial
issues such as official aid, debt and poverty relief and
major investment projects in some of the world's most
troubled nations that
always attract controversy.
 Political relationship and funding.

 NGOs funding.

Riza is "an Oxford-educated British citizen, was born in
Tunisia and grew up in Saudi Arabia
 bank's ethics rules preclude
 "Mr. Wolfowitz's contract requiring that he adhere to the
Code of Conduct for board officials and that he avoid any
conflict of interest, real or apparent, were violated";
 "The salary increase Ms. Riza received at Mr. Wolfowitz's
direction was in excess of the range established by Rule
6.01";
 "The ad hoc group concludes that in actuality, Mr
Wolfowitz from the outset cast himself in opposition to the
established rules of the institution"; and
 "He did not accept the bank's policy on conflict of interest,
so he sought to negotiate for himself a resolution different
from that which would have applied to the staff he was
selected to head.
