EXPERT VIEWS

"The OC was synonymous with the chairman. Extreme concentration of power at the top ensured that decision making remained concentrated in the hands of the chairman and his coterie of loyalists."

Shunglu Committee
On Commonwealth Games Irregularities
"There are appropriate procedures. The report (Shunglu Committee report on CWG scam) is under analysis by various ministries. I am yet to get the analyses from the ministries."

Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister
"Selection and appointment to certain posts in the government are part of the administrative decision-making process and must be placed in the public domain as soon as possible in order to ensure transparency."

Satyananda Mishra
Chief Information Commissioner
