Games People Play in Development Sector-03

The public servants in development sector sometimes use the brokers/ journalists as partner in their network. A Project Director of one of the multi billion dollar project in one of the state issued advertisements to hire the professional services of development consultants. The proposals (Technical & Financial) were invited by development consulting organizations. The agencies were short listed. These brokers / journalists were given the details of short listed organizations. They were asked to negotiate the shortlisted agencies a part of their fee for this network. To convince the short listed agencies the original documents are also handed over by these development managers to these network members. If the development consulting agencies do not negotiate then the efforts are made to black list these agencies by hook or crook using fake games. Even some times the proposals are declared that no body could qualify for the assignment. It is to be re-tendered till they get the agency accepting their terms.
