Jim Yong Kim emerged as World Bank president after a tussle of wits and influence which led to Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala losing out

Jim Yong Kim (born December 8, 1959) is a Korean American physician, is now the president of World Bank for a five year term beginning on the 1st of July, 2012. Kim emerged after a tussle of wits and influence which led to Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, (PhD,born June 13, 1954) a globally renowned Nigerian economist, losing out, as now she has to fall back to her former position as coordinating minister of Nigeria’s economy.

Have your say, since the position was not based on merit, do you think she would have won by sympathy? Since the emerging economies has shown outstanding performance and they are stakeholders in global economy, don’t you think they deserve a fair deal?
