New Delhi,Apr 25 (PTI) While supporting an amnesty scheme for unearthing black money, new CII President B Muthuraman today said his chamber will press for removal of discretionary powers of government functionaries which are often "misused".
In his first press conference after taking over reins of the country's leading industry body, Muthuraman said that the "misuse of discretion and standards, lack of transparent rules and procedures and lack of transparency in public procurement are the key challenges for governance".
CII would initiate an action programme for removal of discretionary powers, particularly in allotment of natural resources, he said.
It may be recalled that country's top corporate honchos including Unitech Managing Director Sanjay Chandra and ADAG group M.D Gautam Doshi have been arrested in the 2G allocation scam.
