WB itself is an unscrupulous, unethical organization, much worse than a village money lender. I have a feeling that the ban imposed on Wipro has been motivated by extraneous considerations.
What I’m reminded of is a scam relating to a WB funded project for purchase of computers and communications equipment by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). The affair came to light in November 2000. A criminal case was registered against the Director General and three senior executives of ICAR. The then Agriculture Minister, Nitish Kumar, with the approval of the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, ordered the DG to go on “compulsory wait” while the investigations were going on. The DG and the three “senior executives” were persons with connections with powerful Indian politicians and with international agencies like FAO and World Bank. With his connections, the DG managed to brew up a storm of “protest” against his removal. The significant part was that the World Bank’s task manager for that particular project went out of his way to support the DG, although there was prima facie evidence of fraudulent deals. With the support from World Bank and other quarters, the DG got himself reinstated, and it was poor Mr Nitish Kumar who had to resign!
