MP: Hiring of McKinsey by Spad smells fishy
- 9 years ago
Fresh from churning out Pemandu reports, some of which proposed the building of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), consultancy firm McKinsey & Co has again been hired - this time to conduct a Land Public Transport Commission (Spad) study on the value management of such a project.
Basing his question on a report in The Star today that said Mckinsey would now helm the Spad study into the matter, DAP Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua questioned the impartiality of the arrangement.
"Will McKinsey do a fair analysis of the cost benefits of the MRT system, when it is part of the Pemandu project that, in the first place, proposed the MRT system?
"While there may be no direct conflict of interest, one has to wonder how fair and unbiased the report is going to be," Pua told a press conference in the Parliament lobby today.
