To Goanet - Below is the list of the turbo geniuses appointed by the govt to review the TCP Act.
Numbers 2, 3 and 4 are all attorneys who have represented builders. I hasten to add that there is nothing illegal nor unholy about it. In a working legal system, lawyers should have the freedom to choose their clients. My question here is: who is representing the people of Goa? Number 7 was the south Goa convener of GBA, and is today part of the Digu circle, paid a handsome salary courtesy the Goan taxpayer. Ahmad Morad was the guy who hid in Digu's chamber in 2007 when the Aldeia de Goa file went 'missing'. My question again: who in the list below is representing the people of Goa and the interests of Goa?
