[Goanet] GOA NEEDS A FULL TIME ADVOCATE GENERAL

[Aires Rodrigues]

The intervention of the Goa Governor has been sought to ensure that a full
time Advocate General is appointed for the State of Goa at the earliest
possible. It has been pointed out to Governor Mridula Sinha that the
current Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni is most of the time in Delhi
where he has already set up a private office as a result of which matters
in the High Court are getting unnecessarily adjourned causing undue
hardship and delay to the litigants in cases against the Government.


In exercise of her powers under Article 165 of our Constitution the
Governor must appoint as Advocate General an honest and competent person
who is apolitical. The Advocate General is a very high Constitutional and
exalted authority having to be a person who is qualified to be a High Court
Judge.


As the First Law officer of the State,  the Advocate General is expected to
be extremely honest, sincere and competent in giving invaluable fair legal
guidance to the State Government in formulation of its policy and execution
of its decisions.  The Advocate General should never be someone who has a lust
or greed for wealth or having vested interest with any lobby but has always
to ensure the State’s best interests at heart.


The Advocate General as the Leader of the Bar should act as role model to
the legal fraternity by upholding impeccable integrity and the highest
ethical standards. Professional ethics demands that a person occupying the
high and solemn constitutional post as Advocate General should never appear
for a private party in a case where the government is directly or even
indirectly a party.


It is an irony that Goa being the smallest state is not only currently
hosting India's highest paid Advocate General but the country's highest
paid public servant. Governor Sinha has been urged to give appropriate
directions that in public interest the fees payable to the Advocate General
of Goa be immediately slashed and brought on par with other states.


Compared with the fees paid to other Advocate Generals across the country,
the very exorbitant fees being currently paid to the Advocate General of
Goa is nothing short of a loot and plunder of the State’s exchequer. It is
imperative that the new Advocate General be a person who is genuinely
concerned about the State and not a person who is lustful or avaricious but
someone who without playing politics ensures that justice is done to each
and every litigant with whose case, the State has to deal with.

[Goanet] Sexual harassment case at Goa Cable News Channel takes a 'Tehelka' turn

[Jose]

I am sure that every reasonable person among us (and the 'lady in question') 
would want to file a complaint and bring the perpetrator to justice. I hope 
there is a fair structure for this to happen.

My concern, however, is related to the manner of Mayabhushan's intervention.  
Here are my questions:

1: Do MB and the alleged perpetrator or alleged victim know each other, 
personally?
2: Has this publicity helped or hurt the alleged victim financially, 
emotionally and socially?
3: Has it damaged her chances of securing future employment elsewhere ?

[Goanet] A Thanda Thanda Garma Garam Gram Sabha

[augusto pinto]

As usual, the subject of garbage dominated the Gram Sabha on August 16.
What follows is my frankly jaundiced view of the proceedings (this barb is
aimed at my carpers like LV who will not usually write even a line or two
of their own wisdom to us MN-ers in return for the bounties I offer them -
bounties for which they can be hyper-critical (they do write then)  but yet
the carpers greedily consume my offerings so long as it is not aimed at
them.)

This was the first ordinary Gram Sabha for new Sarpanch  Santosh Chari and
Secretary Bhiva Thakur and they both began by asking forgiveness in advance
if any errors were made by them. This 'humble' approach is unwise as a
public speaking strategy as it doesn't inspire much confidence in the
audience.

The minutes were read and since one point mentioned that Mrs VM was barred
from the GS because she was not on the voter's list, JD  said that since
they were saucy to the goose they should be saucy to the gander
gesticulating at a gent in front.

So there was a clamor that this should be verified because as KPS said
quite eloquently and sonorously, "Misrepresentation of the Representation
of People's Act is a serious  crime!"

People scuttled around searching for the electoral roll, and we waited in
suspense although the alleged culprit wasn't quite aware he was the the
target. When he did realize that it was he who was being referred to the
gent calmly opened his bag and took out his voters ID. If I got the name
right he was Sq. Ldr. Mendes from Bambordem. He then said he wanted to know
who had raised the objection and that was an awkward moment as nobody
wanted to utter the name of JD. Someone said "Behind you" To which he
growled, "Then I don't want to see her face." Most tittered, but quietly.

There was some talk of some huge amounts being doled out by the government.
So VD nudged me and said that the Ward Development Committee should be
making a development plan.

I got the cue and dutifully said that the WDC should be involved in making
a plan. Then it was pointed out that all the members of the different
Panchayat bodies should be so involved.

I said that not a single meeting had been constituted of the WDC. Former
Sarpanch OC thought I was attacking him and he got defensive and started
saying that it is for the WDC to constitute meetings and I was member and
should know this and that I didn't go for a training programme that had
been held ferem ferem ferem.

I told him that I couldn't take leave for such programs as my work is such
that unless there is a substitute in place it can't be left pending.

Then AM asked who were the members of the WDC. It transpired that they were
Tony D'Sa - Chairman, Thomas Gama - Secretary and Eusebio D'Sa Treasurer
none of whom were present. So basically the blame fell on Tony and Thomas
and Eusebio and as everyone knows all three are close neighbors and
supporters of OC ALTHOUGH I'D ADVISE OC THAT THESE ARE FALSE FRIENDS.

With the blame falling upon these Attafondem worthies,  I said why not we
go ahead and decide to hold a meeting. The upshot was that a meeting was to
be held asap.

JD moved a resolution about Awareness regarding Set Top boxes by cable
operators. The Secretary read the long letter so badly that I couldn't
really figure out what this Resolution was all about except that she wished
that the cable services that Moira gets becomes better.

JD also moved a resolution regarding having an awareness programme
regarding Prevention of Malaria other vector-borne diseases by various
government bodies.

KPS moved a resolution to see that government stops Child Labor and begging
especially in Mapusa.

He also moved a resoulution that the Panchayat have a Village Biodiversity
committee as per the directive of the government. He gave a long speech
saying that foxes and other species which were there in there in the past
have disappeared; that species of bananas and chillies and onions of Moira
are precious examples of biodiversity and that they should be documented
and preserved; that the knowledge of oldies who are themselves repositories
of biodiversity should be tapped before they expire.

During KPS's bhashan, JM cattily remarked that a fox from Saligao should be
imported. I responded equally cattily saying that I knew one fox named FN
from Saligao but was not sure whether he would agree to relocate in Moira.
I'm not sure whether JM or others who over-heard understood.

OC said that such a Village Biodiversity  committee has already been formed
when he hadn't attended a GS. KPS was not fazed and said that more members
could be brought in and got himself co-opted. Feeling alone he asked me to
get in too and VD and JD too were co-opted while MD opted out.

KPS moved a congratulatory motion to the former Sarpanch OC about a blind
turn in Attafondem being fixed and said that he had done a lot of work in
the ward. He mentioned someone who had voluntarily gifted his land for
making the blind turn a bit better sighted. He d
