This sounds like a homework question! (Is it?) Here's a couple of tips but I won't give you the answer here! Go to http://web.worldbank.org and click on "about us" then on "organization" to find the president of the World Bank. Click on his name and look carefully at the resulting page to find his biography. To find out about criticisms of him, just put his name into Google and start reading the resulting hits!! There's LOTS there! Do the same with your other question: "World Bank" and Indonesia ... (putting "World Bank" into quote marks makes the search engine find the exact phrase). The first few Google hits are FROM the World Bank's own site, so skip them if you are seeking criticism. You'll find plenty! If this is for homework, be sure to note WHO wrote the criticism so you can discuss the bias the authors might have.
