Category Corruption

I Just read a news story that Arvind Kejrwal is looking into the corruption cases in the JAL Board Delhi and a related news item that some engineers were suspended.

I wondered as to why such a routine and insignificant(?) case is being attended to by the CM of Delhi.

I did some search and found that the issue of Corruption in JAL Board Delhi is not as insignificant as I imagined.

I seem to have missed out this altogether.

Or is it that the Media has not covered it as the case deserves?

I suspect so.

Here is the take on Jal Corruption.

This corruption involves World Bank , appointing consultants to Delhi Water Board.

To the uninitiated, it is the practice of Governments to appoint consultant for a new Technology/Process.

The operation involves floating technical specifications, Commercial Bid and final selection.

To secure the business the competing firms appoint Liaison Officers, Project Consultanats.in plain language 'The Fixers" who find out what percentage is to be given to whom, what to quote and in general facilitate the winning of the Contract.

I have a post on this process.

Now to Jal.
