AS CHAOS UNFOLDS, FIND SOLID GROUND…BBC:
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.
