*quote room* When I was in power, I also tried to get chambers for MLAs. It can be done in the underground level of the complex. Meanwhile I also request that there should be a hostel for MLAs near the house Pratapsingh Rane, Leader of the Opposition --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Arlekar, Hon. Speaker of Govt of Goa Goa Assembly,
In my opinion MLA's should not be provided with separate chamber in the Assembly because of the following reasons: i) Unnecessary cost for the Govt exchequer. ii) MLA's are elected to do public work but if they were given chambers there are chances for them for napping or bad attendance as they are been seen during the assembly live proceedings and also may rise corruption. Transparency is a MUST. iii) If at all the government is going ahead with the construction of chambers it is advisable that each chamber should be fitted with monitoring cameras. iv) Hostel may be considered. Hope this will be implemented and accepted. Stephen Dias
