------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Mr. Hauzel Haukhum, You have come to head the Goa Administration at a critical time in its history. Our bureaucracy, supposed to be the steel frame ,is rusted and lacking in basic discipline. The previous incumbant Mr J.P.Singh apparently had no time/ was unable to bother himself with the nitty gritty of administration . Kindly note the following: a)There is no fear of the law, rules and regulations. b)The administration is slack, no one is punished or fears consequences for dereliction of duty! c)Transparency and accountability are alien concepts. d)There is generally no action without complaint. e) Complaints are stonewalled. There is cover up and people are frustrated if they complain. f) In fact the complaint is leaked to the defaulter, and there is no one to protect the righteous citizen. g) Departments work at cross purposes, and within one compartment is unaware what the other is doing. h) Transfers of important personnel (one can understand if its for election duties) is routinely done at the drop of a hat. i) There is absolutely no handing over/taking over procedures followed, even if incumbents have plenty of time to do so.Consequently administration is in shambles. EACH POINT DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION. 2. If you could crack the whip immediately and show you mean business with your vast experience, and establish routine good administration, and we dare to hope excellence in due course, you will be doing Goa proud and our nation a great service.
