Thumbs up BCB forms committee to probe past deals

Quote:
The committee has been given an initial time frame of three months within which it would conduct the review and report to the board.

The period for the review would give the committee a chance to examine the most important TV deals that had been signed during separate tenures of the board.

The BCB is now the most affluent sport body in the country and there has been doubt over transparency in financial activities of the board. Like the other sectors, the Caretaker Government made the change in the board in a move to bring accountability and transparency.

It was learnt that this proposal was first voiced by a board member in the second meeting, where he demanded review for only the activities of the last board, but one of his colleagues raised questions about the duration.

There were also demands of scrutinising controversies over the MRF deal in 1988 and the sponsorship for the 1999 World Cup team.

"Yes, we have been given a parameter because we have to do the work within a timeframe. The most important thing is that you have to start work from a certain period of time. Otherwise it would be a never-ending job. What you must consider is whether this timeframe would allow us to review all the major issues or not," explained Abdul Momen while talking with the Daily Star over telephone.

"But after that we will definitely go back if needed," he added.
