PR No. 07 REBUTTAL Islamabad: 2nd January, 2019

Reference to the news items related to award of contract of Mohmand Dam Project. Mr. Abdul Razaq Dawood founded and headed Descon Engineering Limited, as he did several other business ventures. When asked to serve the present government, Mr. Abdul Razak Dawood fully disclosed all his business associations to the Prime Minister and to ensure transparency and avoid conflict of interest, he resigned from all these associations before joining the Cabinet. His disclosure and resignations were provided in writing to the Prime Minister with the request that these be fully shared with the Cabinet. The disclosure had also identified the Mohmand Dam Project for which Descon had already bid before Mr. Abdul Razak Dawood joined the Cabinet. The Prime Minister felt that this pending project should not prevent Mr.Abdul Razak Dawood from joining the Cabinet. In fact, the Prime Minister made a strong plea for the services of the Advisor for Commerce, Textile , Industries & Production and Investment. On joining the Cabinet, the Advisor has totally distanced himself from his former business interests and has scrupulously observed and implemented all requirements of transparency and avoidance of conflict of interest. There has been no departure whatsoever from this ethic. So far as the Mohmand Dam Project is concerned, invitation to bids was floated by WAPDA on 23 November 2017 in accordance with International Competitive Bid (‘ICB’) prequalification, single stage, two envelop procedure. Descon submitted its bid in joint venture with China Gezhouba with 30% participating interest on 26 June 2018. As per the rules, technically qualified bidders were entitled for the financial bid opening and CGGC- Descon JV was the qualified bidder. It is for WAPDA to comment on the bidding process leading to the successful bidder with its extensive experience in tendering for projects in and outside Pakistan, the Mohmand Dam bids arranged by WAPDA were processed as fully compliant with national and internationally-accepted (‘ICB’) bidding procedures. *****
