GAMES-CAG 2LST

"Although the CGF supported the appointment of Fast
Track, it strongly refutes any inference that it interfered
in the selection process," Hooper said.
He said they never dictated to the Organising
Committee whom to pick and a transparent bid process was
followed.
The CAG inspection report also alleged that undue favour
amounting to Rs 25 crore was shown in the appointment of
consultants SMAM and Leisure Sports Management, Kolkata.
"The OC did not follow the procedure laid down in the
manual and did not allow sufficient time to the consultants
who had responded to the Expression of Interest.
"This resulted in insufficient competition for selection
of consultant for marketing of sponsorship and commercial
rights. There was no comparable financial bid available with
OC for comparing the bid of SMAM," the report said.
It also faulted the OC on various grounds like avoidable
expenditure of Rs 4.11 crore on renovation of IOA Bhavan,
avoidable payment of rent and maintenance charges amounting to
Rs 1.44 crore and "arbitrary" engagement of advocates. PTI JD
