To, The Resident Editor Amitabh Dasgupta Gomantak Times Panjim-Goa This letter may please be taken up in your Letters to the Editor column. as an important issue made by a CAG report. .Regards. Stephen Dias D.Paula mob: 9422443110 Date: 18.8.2014 CAG REPORT ON HIGH FEES PAID TO ATTORNEY GENERAL ATMARAM NADKARNI Ref: Your Gomantak Times report dated 18th August 2014, titled " CAG QUESTIONS GOA GOVT. ON HIGH FEES PAID TO ADV. GEN. NADKARNI " Dear Sir, It has been reported today (18th Aug), in your paper (GT), that the Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni is being paid very high fees compared to our counterparts in various states of India. This is highly irregular on the part of Govt of Goa for wasteful expenditure from the treasury which comes from public funds. Earlier many times our Senior Advocate of Goa, Mr. Aires Rodrigues already voice his opinion and made to public in many occasions. He claims that he has taken from RTI all the relevant information and exposed this Advocate General of Goa for many of his irregularities. The Chief Minister of Goa Mr. Manohar Parrikar owes to the public an explanation on this effect. Since now CAG (Controller of Audit General), questions Goa Government on high fees paid to Advocate General Mr. Atmaram Nadkarni the matter has now become more serious and that whatever expenses incurred so far from day one, needs to be reimbursed from his personal funds to the Government treasury since it has said to be illegal expenditure payment made to him. Stephen Dias D.Paula Mob: 9422443110 Message: 3 Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2014 17:11:32 +0530 From: Aires Rodrigues To: goanet Subject: [Goanet] CAG QUESTIONS GOA GOVT ON HIGH FEES BEING PAID TO ADVOCATEGENERAL Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 The Goa office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has sought an urgent explanation and justification from the Goa Government on the high fees being paid to Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni. Acting on a complaint filed on 16th May last year on the very exorbitant fees being paid to the Advocate General, the office of CAG made a comparative examination with the states of Haryana, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya and found the fees being paid to the Advocate General of Goa to be very high. The CAG in a letter to the Goa Government on 23rd January this year had also sought from the Goa Government the list of cases represented by the Advocate General in the High Court and Supreme Court along with the total remuneration paid and the amount that was at stake in those cases. The CAG has also sought details of the total amount paid monthly to the Advocate General and a list of the Advocates empanelled by the Goa government with the total remuneration paid to them year wise. The CAG in its comparative chart has drawn the Government?s attention that while the Goa AG for appearance before the High Court is paid Rs 10,000 per case, that the AG of Haryana is paid Rs 1000 while the AGs of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya are paid Rs 5000, Rs 3000 and Rs 2500 respectively. The CAG has further informed the Goa Government that while the Goa AG is paid Rs 75,000 for appearance before the Supreme Court the Haryana AG gets paid Rs 2000 while the AGs of Manipur and Meghalaya get paid Rs 10,000 with the Arunachal Pradesh AG paid Rs 3500. With no reply having been received from the Goa government the Deputy Accountant General on 22nd April once again wrote to the Law Secretary calling for the information urgently. The CAG is reportedly in the process of sending yet another reminder to the Goa Government. The Government is duty bound to promptly reply to any queries of CAG. The Goa Government by high-handedly not responding to the queries raised by CAG is only attempting to shield Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni. Goa despite being the smallest state is not only hosting India's highest paid Advocate General but the country's highest paid public servant. The President of India is paid Rs 1,50,000 a month, the Chief Justice of India Rs 1,00,000 and a High Court Judge Rs 80,000. Advocate General of Goa Atmaram Nadkarni out beats them all by getting paid up to a whopping eight lakhs a month besides Rs 75,000 on every visit to Delhi. This gross anomaly defies all logic. Public funds cannot be allowed to be squandered in such a high-handed manner. The astronomical fees being paid to the Advocate General of Goa is nothing short of a day light loot and plunder of the State?s exchequer. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on 23rd May 2012 had directed that the fees of Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni be hiked due to the very high inflation being faced by the Advocate General. The government by an order issued on 8th April last year hiked the fees of the Advocate General from a monthly maximum of five lakhs to eight lakhs. The Advocate General?s per appearance fee before the High Court was hike

[Goanet] What does a secretary record in the gram sabha?
At a gram sabha held yesterday, one of the issues of contention was regarding the sarpanch and panchayat not being invited for a football tournament. A resolution was proposed that the club should apologise or else the panchayat ground will not be given for club tournaments. One citizen claimed the invitation was given( but no name was mentioned on the invitation card) and he demanded that this point be recorded as a part the proposed resolution. People need to understand that there are two kinds of minutes of meeting- minutes of discussion and minutes of resolution. The Secretary need not record the minutes of discussion because for a body like the gram sabha, recording every point will be a daunting task for the secretary. Only the resolutions that have been passed need to be recorded. The fault, in this case, lied with the sarpanch who chaired the meeting. He has to put every ammendment for vote- which he didn't. Because of this, one man's claim has been accepted as the voice of the gram sabha. What if someone stood up next and demanded that the secretary note that drugs were sold at the tournament? That would have to be recorded too. Gram sabhas are powerful bodies and therefore require equally responsible people to chair the meetings. Maybe sarpanchs need training in parliamentary procedures before they take up the chair of a gram sabhas.

Additionally, IF there is no breeze and it is hot, a Pankhawalla and his Pankha should be in attendance. (Dancing girls optional). After all, the ground belongs to these Five panchas and not to the village. Wonder WHY Mr. Tavares has not named the village. It is my reading from Goans in cyberspace that in post-Salazar Goa, one can say whatever one wants about the same chaps who will convince you to vote for them at the next Tiatr. Only do not write anything on Facebook. Is it not interesting that Goans in 2014 are stuck at this Gram level? They appear to be more concerned about what is being recorded or not than 'supporting' the very "reasonable" quid pro quo demands of these panchas. jc Partially T-I-C

[Goanet] Fwd: Entry Tax to Goa for Vehicles
-- Forwarded message -- From: Stephen Dias Date: 18 August 2014 16:28 Subject: Re: Entry Tax to Goa for Vehicles To: Annand Madgavkar Dear Anand, I have my own opinion. Some of your points I do not agree..Let us be more practical. Theoretically it sounds good , but practically it will be difficult to implement which may create chaos. Point No.1: I agree that all vehicle from all the states except Maharashtra and Karnataka needs to be exempted from Road Taxes.But how will you know where these vehicles are been registered? They can register anywhere in India. Even we have Goan buses like Paulo Travels, Fernandes Travels, and other tour operators having registered outside states and not in Goa because of various reasons, One, may be there is cheap labour outside Goa, to get the chassis built or renovated , second there is an added advantage for these outside registration going further on, and getting no tax or less tax and other benefits. Third , especially for the buses their chassis are built with good workmanship, good quality and cheap labour, compared to what they can get in Goa. So, you can never differentiate which is a Goan vehicle plying at the borders, except on registration number which will indicate you that this vehicle is from Goa or elsewhere depending upon the registration number plate, although some of them could be a Goan vehicle but the registration is from outside state so they have to pay tax for outside registration. . One thing can be done is that the Government can register with the traders in Karnataka and Maharashtra and give them passes or registration cards which they are excepted from taxes so that Goa is benefited and there is no chances for the rogue cops at the borders to get hapta/compensation or corruption done. Ocean liners is not possible and I cannot think of that. Point No 2: Once you give the cops chances to check for documents than the corruption is increased. Even keeping a set timing also is impossible as it will create complications and errors. You see at Dabolim airport , people misuse once a vehicle enters inside the airport and the number and time is given to the driver , it is been manipulated at the exit check point and allows for some people and for others tells them you pay some thing cash as bribe and therefore you can keep you vehicle inside for hours. So these things are difficult to keep a track and there are manipulations and complications and once a complaint is lodged, you need a Dept to go through this complain and wastage of time and salaries for the officers in the that dept, which they need to penalize those offenders etc. so it is a wastage of time and energy for officers to check for corruption. Point No. 3: Keeping CCTV is not the solution as, who will maintain or track this system or coordinate with the control room? Who will do the repairs when the CCTV goes out of order. Say you need replacement immediately whether Govt has funds for that? Finally passengers will shout and there will be a havoc at the border check post where passengers and drivers will start fighting and shouting. You cannot think of CCTV at this moment until a full fledged Goa Police is formed with good intention and well trained and the Chief Minister should also be able to extend help when nowadays he himself is making U-turns. Dear ANAND I SUGGEST WE SHOULD THINK WELL AND ONLY THEN WE SHOULD WRITE TO THE GOVT OR THE PRESS WHAT IS BEST FOR GOA. Let us ask for more feedback from our friends and experts who understand this case.I will speak with certain friends and get their opinion what they say. Also the Government view needs to understand for implementation. It is a big exercise.

What a plan. Is it that Editor does not encourage people to attend the strike or he has some other plans which is against this strike or supporting the Government? The Managing Director Mr Raul Fernandes and Manager Mr. Michael must question the Editor his reasons publishing in a small print and not given a good publicity or coverage in front page of Herald with bold letters.

[Goanet] [JudeSundayReflections] Twenty-first Sunday of the Year
18-Aug-2014 Dear Friend, Most people like to give orders rather than take orders from another, to dictate and tell others what to do rather than be dictated to, to be the boss rather than the servant. Whenever people are in a position of authority they like to throw their weight around and let people know who is the boss. But in God's kingdom, authority is given not to dominate and control but to serve and uplift people. We are called to empower people rather than enslave people. Have a grateful weekend thanking God for empowering His Church and us! -Fr. Jude Sunday Ref: Twenty-first Sun. - "You are built on solid foundations! Peter the Rock!" 24-Aug-2014 Readings: Isaiah 22: 19-23; Rom. 11: 33-36; Mt. 16: 13-20; In the first reading from Isaiah we read of one person who is dismissed from office and the keys of authority are passed on to another. Shebna, had violated the presuppositions upon which people give authority: that power will not be abused, that advantage will not be taken of others, that power will not corrupt but be of service. Shebna was removed from his position of controlling access both to the city and to the king. Elaikim, Shebna's successor, is given the sash and robe to show that he is master of the palace, he is given the key to symbolize that he has now the authority and access to the city and the king. Faith is given to us not to have power over others or to make us feel superior to others but that we might serve others and lead them in humility to God. Ready to Serve? Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross was a former professor of psychiatry at the University of Chicago. She wrote a best-seller called Death and Dying. The book grew out of interviews with hundreds of people who had been declared clinically dead and then revived. Repeatedly these people report that during their death-experience they underwent a kind of instant replay of their lives. It was like seeing a movie of everything they'd ever done. How did their instant replay affect these people? Did it reveal anything significant? Commenting on this, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross says: "When you come to this point, you see that there are only two things that are relevant: the service you rendered to others and love. All those things we think are important, like fame, money, prestige, and power, are insignificant." Flor McCarthy in 'New Sunday and Holy Day Homilies' In today's Gospel Jesus initially queries his disciples about what people think about him. He needs to know if people have understood his mission. "Who do people say that I am?" The answers were highly complementary; but in the final analysis the answers of others did not matter, second-hand faith will not stand the test. "But you, who do you say that I am?" Now in the face of that blunt question they are silent, they do not want to reveal their faith and motivation for following him. Finally Peter broke the silence and blurted out "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Peter's declaration had two parts. First, he acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah. But Peter has a second stupendous declaration to make. He proclaims that Jesus is the Son of the living God. This confession of faith of Peter is immediately followed by Jesus' affirmation that no mere man has revealed this truth to Peter. His faith is a gift from God. Peter has spoken because God has revealed this deep truth to him. In response to Peter's expression of faith, Jesus acknowledges Peter: "You are Peter, the rock, and on this rock I will build my Church." This connection between the truth of Jesus as the Son of God and the Church as founded on rock is not coincidental. Rather it becomes the firm mission of the Church to clarify, to teach, and to live according to the truth that Jesus is the Son of God. We believe that Jesus is the Messiah, but we also believe that he is more than that. Jesus is truly the unique Son of God. After Peter's proclamation of faith Jesus affirmed him as the Rock. Though Peter was frail and human, he was given the keys of the Kingdom of heaven. The occupants of the chair of Peter have not always been what we would have hoped for but Jesus has not abandoned them or his Church and continues to guide it in spite of human errors. "But I know who I am!" Every day Tim would go to the nursing home and visit her. Each time she would ask Tim who he was and why he was visiting her. And each time Tim would explain who he was and why he was visiting. He would tell the story of all his children and grandchildren, all the activities and all the news of his family. And while he was feeding her lunch each day, he would gently remind her that he was married for 52 years to the same woman and that woman was her. Then each time she would smile brightly as if told for the first time. That woman was Margaret, and Margaret suffers from Alzheimer's disease; she moves in and out of reality. Tim tends to her each and every

Parrikar on Dual Citizenship issue He says he will visit Delhi next month to seek protection to those whose birth registered in Portugal as well as those having Bilhete or National ID cards update 18/8/2014 Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar in the Assembly on Dual Citizenzhip cases etc Total of 15 complaints filed includes cases against MLAs, Police, Panchayat members Its a sensitive / Serious issue for thousands of Goans, there may be at least 30,000 to 40,000 whose birth registered in Portugal knowingly or unknowingly Of which, at least 5,000 must be Govt servants says MLA Mauvin Godinho. Some advocates who are fighting for or against these cases are themselves registered in Portugal. After 12th of Sept Parrikar will be visiting Delhi to meet the bureaucrats Delhi bureaucrats do not understand this problem properly.. Parrikar will seek relief or seek protection to those whose birth registered in Portugal (and those who already obtained ID Cards or bilhetes) Those acquired Portuguese Passport automatically forfeit their Indian Citizenship and no protection to such cases. Also, Parrikar says once a birth registered in Portugal he/she becomes Portuguese Citizen as per Portuguese Act. > (But Indian Citizenship Act also interprets similarly i.e. Section 9(1) of the Indian Citizenship Act says that any citizen of India who by Naturalisation or Registration acquires the citizenship of another country shall cease to be a citizen of India) Again, Parrikar says no lower courts have jurisdiction over this issue or cases and that the only authority is Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) > but when MHA gave its verdict in the case of MLA Caitu D’Silva, Parrikar termed the order as ‘fraud’ Chief Minister says anyone can register anybody without his or her knowledge. > Don’t know how it is possible without one’s express written authority or > power of Attorney? Parrikar says special consideration or protection also be sought to those who after registration in Portugal also obtained Billet or National ID Card as long as they have not surrendered their Indian Passport. > This statement also sounds absurd as if ID can also be obtained by the third > party without one's knowledge or written authority. When suggested granting of ‘Dual Citizenship’ Parrikar says it’s a Central Govt subject and that he has no problem as long as they don’t vote in India and that they can’t vote in two countries (?) > I think ‘Dual Citizenship’ means citizen of two countries enjoying all rights > including voting rights in both countries Mauvin Godinho, Pratapsingh Rane, Vishnu Surya Wagh and Mikky Pacheco also speaking Wagh says at Swindon, it is like Agassaim/Siridao Rane says Goans seen at Heathrow doing all type of jobs video - Parrikar speaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiNbtyJ9BfI Blog updated with video etc, see in the end Blog straight went to the top with nearly 12,000 visitors (11,911) http://joegoauk-pointofview.blogspot.in/2013/04/of-portuguese-citizenship-passport-etc.html joego...@yahoo.co.uk for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc

"Speeding train rams autorickshaw and kills 20" screams the headlines in a news despatch today about an unfortunate accident in Bihar. This is India's most undisciplined state with Goa trailing just behind with full intent to overtake. Accidents will happen anywhere, but consider the aspects of this one, unique elsewhere but not unique in India. 1. It happened at a manned railway crossing. Defeats the meaning of "manned". 2. There were 20 persons of one family travelling in the single vehicle. 3. People at the scene raised a row, demanding 2 lakh rupees for every person killed or injured. 4. The picture taken was "representational". My take: Either the gate was closed and the rickshaw just bypassed it (you see it in Goa all the time) or the gatekeeper went away for a more pressing need than his job. There is no limit to vehicle seating, standing or hanging. More the merrier. Never lose a chance to demand money, especially from the sarkar. To hell with whose fault it is, finding causes and preventing such accidents happening in the future. Lots more lives where those 20 came from. The Indian media are so bored with reporting, they don't send photographers to the scenes anymore. Take a file or internet picture and dub it "representational". Roland. Sent from Samsung Mobile

[Goanet] A GATHERING OF STONES
On 19th December last year amidst much pomp and fanfare the foundation stone was laid at Porvorim for a state of the art complex to house the Bombay High Court at Goa. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had assured that the project would be ready in 18 months. It is now already eight long months and the construction work is yet to commence. Likewise on 2nd November 2009 a similar foundation stone was laid for the North Goa District and Sessions Court Complex at Merces which was supposed to house all the Panaji Courts. We were then promised that the premises would be ready within a year. It will soon be five long years to the laying of that foundation stone and not a brick has been cast with that foundation stone itself having long gone missing with those building design plans by now perhaps feasted on by the white ants. So why burden the tax payer by spending lavishly and very injudiciously on such pretentious functions which seem to be ending up as a mere gathering of stones.
