Broader allegations on pay deals for Wolfowitz's friends at the Bank. The Financial Times, which really has its claws out for Wolfowitz, comes up with further damaging points against Wolfowitz. They relate to very generous pay deals for Robin Cleveland and Kevin Kellems (for more on their appointments see my previous post). The FT recounts: Ms Cleveland and Mr Kellems were given salaries of about $250,000 net of tax – the same amount paid to the highest ranked career Bank officials, who typically have 25 years of development experience World Bank policy is that the president has the authority to make an appointment at any level, but it would be normal for the head of HR to be consulted over the terms of such appointments, two sources told the FT. It is understood that mid-ranking HR officials were consulted over the appointments. The FT’s revelations are potentially damaging because they suggest that irregular processes over appointments under Mr Wolfowitz were not limited to his personal involvement Riza affair". More for the Bank's board to consider, if it's serious about rescuing the Bank's internal governance. Alex Wilks ~ April 15, 2007
