PANJIM: From January to April this year Goa’s Chief Secretary Mr. Sanjay Srivastava made a total of nine trips out of Goa. The information furnished to Adv. Aires Rodrigues under the Right to Information Act by the Chief Secretary’s office has revealed that the trips include seven to Delhi, one to Diu and a 12 day trip to the United States of America to attend a Goa Tourism Road show.
The Chief Secretary’s office has informed Adv. Aires Rodrigues that a total of Rs 1, 05, 560 was spent on the Chief Secretary’s four trips to Delhi and Rs 39, 019 on the two day trip to Diu.
The Chief Secretary’s office has further informed Adv. Rodrigues that the bills of the other three trips made by the Chief Secretary to Delhi and the tour to the United States of America are yet to be settled.
The information furnished to Adv. Aires Rodrigues last month had revealed that in 2010 Goa’s Chief Secretary Mr. Sanjay Srivastava had made 27 official trips within India and two trips overseas. A total of Rs 5, 91,099 was spent on the 27 trips made by the Chief Secretary within India while an expenditure of Rs 2, 56,728 was incurred on the two trips overseas.
Adv. Aires Rodrigues has today stated that such frequent traveling and extravagant expenditure by the Chief Secretary has to stop as it was contrary to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s directives for austerity and restraint in official travels by Ministers and officers.
Adv. Rodrigues has stated that while the Chief Secretary was very frequently flying out of Goa, the Aam Aadmi was suffering as the local administration lacked direction and had become dysfunctional.
Goa’s Health Minister Mr. Vishwajit Rane has recently moved an official note to Chief Minister Digambar Kamat demanding the immediate removal of Chief Secretary Sanjay Srivastava as he was frequently out of Goa besides also being very incompetent.
This is nothing but what we say in Konkani "FULUCHAE KHUSTAR KHOSNE". Goa is raped day in and day out by these bureaucrats specially sent to Goa from Delhi. Why else do they need Goa in the Union ? For Goan good ? At least Aires is doing a good job by giving us this information. This needs a wide publicity so that the Goans awake from their slumber. What is the opposition doing in Goa ? Time for Goans to go on hunger strike - unto death. Otherwise no one hears and take action. Are we waiting for prophets to come and change Goa ?
ReplyDeleteOnly the wrath of God can save Goa for Goans. Goans do not understand the word unity, they are afraid of their own shadows. But when it comes to making enemies among ourselves we do not pull back our punches. The demand and greed for land has caused chaos among Goans.The sooner we learn to unite and fight corrupt politicans, the sooner Goa will be free of crime and corruption
