Fennell scraps technical committee, Kalmadi happy
December 19th, 2009 - 9:02 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )New Delhi, Dec 19 (IANS) Commonwealth Games Federation president Michael Fennell Saturday scrapped the Technical Review Committee (TRC) which the Games Organising Committee (GOC) of Suresh Kalmadi was bitterly opposed to.
Fennell, who two months ago had slammed the GOC for the lack of preparedness for the 2010 Games, announced that there was no need for an independent TRC as “we are closer to where we should be”.
Kalmadi expressed happiness over the development and assured Fennel that all projects would meet their deadlines.
The panel, comprising foreign experts, was to come into force post Christmas.
“When I announced the formation of the TRC just two months ago, I noted that this group would monitor progress against promise. So the first part, of monitoring of progress against promise, will now be delivered in two ways,” Fennell said.
“Firstly, it will be through our now expanded Coordination Committee (CoCom) which is scheduled for two more inspections ahead of the Games. Secondly, it will through our CEO Mike Hooper who is based in Delhi.”
