All government recruitment put on hold by Election Commission 2012-01-03 Jobs were distributed after the Election Code was implemented. The BJP immediately lodged a complaint with the Election Commission in the State. The Electricity Department, Sports, Accounts, Fire Services and Animal Husbandry have flouted the rules and while investigation is on by the Election Commission, 13 freshers who have already taken up jobs in these departments have been told not to report for work until the elections are over. They were given appointment letters on the December 24 and told to report for work on December 26.
The Election Commission should have declared the appointments null and void, but instead he has instructed the government to defer their appointments. The departments informed the Election Commission that only 13 jobs were allotted, but the Commissioner feels that 1300 jobs have been distributed as largesse in the run-up to elections. Media reports say that Churchill's PWD department, Vishwajit's Health Departmetn and Social Welfare Department have sent out appointment letters.All recruitment has been halted, including allotment of harness cases, where the individual dies in harness and the job is offered to his family member. But Viswajit's Health department takes the cake. A senior GMC official is allegedly on leave and has taken the department stamp with him. It is reported that the official has been typing out the appointment letters in his house and dispatching them. Goa now has 57,000 government servants. Each getting not less than Rs 6000 per month. From the year 2007 to 2010 there were 5600 jobs distributed.In 2011 alone there were 4,900! The recruits have to pay anything from Rs 1 lakh upwards for a job. That's a lower side figure of Rs 49 crore. The actual figure must be much much more which supposedly goes into a politician's pocket. So the Politician benefits. The new recruit is now a government servant and the taxpayer pays out a fat salary with perks and D.A. After he leaves, the taxpayer continues paying his pension. So the government servant benefits. What does the taxpayer get? Nothing. What does Goa get? A big fat deficit for the next generation to pay.
