Listen to Radia tapes in my site, you will know how the fixing is done for Minister ship and for even Media fixing.

We have a Law on paer that each party must declare the information of Donations.

The Delhi Jal World Bank Corruption Story

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.
