www.shoppingdotcom.co.uk World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz is facing another wave of pressure to resign over his involvement in a corruption scandal.
It has been alleged that the 54-year-old ally of US president George Bush intervened to ensure his girlfriend's lucrative promotion within the World Bank.
Concerns that the scandal will hinder the World Bank's efforts to chide developing nations away from corrupt practices have been brushed off by Mr Wolfowitz, who has apologised for making a mistake over the issue.
Now at least 32 members of the institution's anti-corruption group have handed a letter to its board. They claim they cannot continue their efforts with Mr Wolfowitz remaining in place.
"As is known, there are reports from the field offices of concrete cases where the bank's policy dialogue and operational work on governance and anti-corruption are being undermined," the Reuters news agency quoted the letter as saying.
"The credibility of our frontline staff is eroding in the face of legitimate questions from our clients about the bank's ability to 'practice what it preaches' on governance."
