------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Goa Government has very rightly decided not to give a further extension in service to Goa’s Law Secretary, Mr. V.P. Shetye. It is a shame that Mr. Shetye, a former district judge was ready to bow and bend to the whims and fancies of our lawless politicians in order to hold on to his chair which he so astutely managed to cling to till the ripe age of 70. With Mr. Shetye gone there should be a concerted effort to put the Law department in good order. To achieve this, Goa would need a competent and honest Advocate General in place. Even a tanker of detergent will not be enough to clean up the rot, muck and disgrace the incumbent Mr. Subodh Kantak has brought to this high Constitutional post. The legacy he would leave behind when he quits or is booted out will be a harrowing task for the person who steps into his shoes. Aires Rodrigues Ribandar
