Goa needs a Lokayukta to ensure public accountability. The clean up would have to start from the top. One of its priorities would have to be to probe the misdeeds of Goa’s controversial Advocate General Mr. Subodh Kantak. The allegations of financial and other improprieties against Mr. Subodh Kantak are plenty.
Over the last five years Mr. Subodh Kantak has been paid by the Goa Government over five crores. The tax payer has the right to an explanation of the wasteful and illegal payments made from the public exchequer towards bills raised by Advocate General, Mr. Subodh Kantak. Mr. Subodh Kantak is India’s highest paid Advocate General and such huge payments to an Advocate General of India’s smallest state was unjustified when the Advocate Generals of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat on the average are never paid more that Rs 50,000 a month. While the State Government is not in a position to take up developmental projects and spend money towards the Aam Aaadmi, the tax payer’s money is being squandered on the Advocate General. We have to ensure that expenditure of public funds is well accounted for.
