"To protect the interest of the Goan youth there needs to be a total BLANKET ban on extensions in service and contract appointments to the retired with NO EXCEPTIONS whatsoever. Infact the government needs to revert the retirement age to 58 and bring hope to the young UNEMPLOYED. That will be a true and much needed Parivartan." COMMENT: I believe that Governments have the primary responsibility to govern. The civil service would be best managed IF there was a system of apprenticeship by which juniors are trained by seniors to take over when it is time for the seniors to retire. What damages good governance is a combination of the following (incomplete list): political interference and favoritism, influence peddling, back-biting, domination of junior babus by senior babus even to the point where juniors are delegated to routinely do household chores for the seniors, and near non-total non-performance of the job they are hired to do....etc While Aires may be expressing his (the common) frustration with the unending ghuspott in Goa, his solution is not only unreasonable but also counterproductive. jc jc
