|EP_22_24 (Energy & Power Vol 22 Issue 24 June 1, 2024)
A gas-pipeline project is spurned by government planners for a lavish estimation of expenditures, including a fat consultancy cost, to be funded with local and foreign loans, insiders said.
-
Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company PLC proposed to spend Tk 3.085 billion for consultancy services alone out of the Tk 81.61-billion pipeline-installation project, they said.
The state-run energy company also earmarked a massive Tk 32.187 billion worth of funds for road-restoration works, which the PC noted as a “bloated cost", officials concerned said.
