But the conflicts of interests that were raised against the oust president still remains obscure. What forced the official from limiting the ‘punishment’ to an

“administrative leave" (as suggested by a committee)?

The decision was not an unforeseen one. Many in the ground were anticipating the pronouncement to ‘make him expel’. Such an episode had cropped up for the first time in the history of the World Bank - its President is quitting because of the accusations leveled against him.

 While the main stream media brought to light the issue of Shaha Riza, his partner; countless allegations are subsided in the print. The most imperative one is that the President was more like an autocrat. He hardly paid any reverence to various decisions of the board of advisors in the bank.  

Yet the bank granted a chance to the President to quit from the post by him-self than taking a step for a ‘forced exit – may be to save its own countenance. The decision to resign from the post came on May 17. Thus Paul could some way lower the ignominy and disgrace he himself fetched in.

 Wolfowitz was nominated as Bank President in 2005. He is a bosom friend of President Bush. Their relations echoed the words of Bush when he went on admiring the flairs and talents of the oust president of the bank even after the events ensued.

And now the issue is almost over and US President George W Bush has chosen Robert Zoellick, former deputy secretary of state, as the new president of the World Bank.

 But the conflicts of interests that were heaved against the oust president still remains obscure. What forced the officials from limiting the ‘punishment’ to an

“administrative leave" (as suggested by a committee)?

 The reason lies on the opposition that he faced with in the bank. The autocratic and despotic attitude of the oust president in actuality vexed the high officials. More over the policies adopted by the President had no discern of the economies of the poor countries.

 This is clear-cut ‘silent sway’ for the new president. If he chases parallel policies he will be another Paul Wolfowitz.
