Chairperson of BAC

Chairperson of BAC plays a role in influencing the bid adjudication process by participating in meetings and can reject BEC recommendations, but oversight is claimed not to be improper influencing.

“If you are a Chairperson of the BAC and you participate in each of those meeting where you are able to send things back to the BEC, then it means you can influence the process ... with respect, I would like to maintain the statement that I do not influence, but I play an oversight in terms of ensuring that all due processes are followed accordingly at the stage of the Bidder Adjudication Committee.”
