GT: Cries for 2/19 probe get louder. Photo inset -- Fr. Maverick Fernandes - Spokesperson for Council for Social Peace and Justice. GT: No comebacks - We run the danger of Goa turning red with the innocent blood of our children - Editorial article Dr. Oscar Rebello. [ Well appreciated on both counts. The church must realise that, in Dr. Rebello's words, "there are no winners in this game, only losers", us, the people of Goa. Only an impartial inquiry will bring respect to the state of Goa. Fr. Maveric's suggestion that just 6 ministers are enough for Goa is well appreciated. However, we have, in our Party's Constitution [Art. 34], cut that number by one to make it permanently 5, plus we have gone one step ahead to declare that MLAs who remain outside the cabinet shall not be eligible to be appointed as chairpersons of Govt. Corporations/Institutions [Art. 38]. Dr. Rebello's suggestion is unique - the formation of a panel of 'Ombudsmen' to investigate and pin responsibility where it belongs. However much appreciated this suggestion is, we have elaborated on this point in our 'Roadmap for Goa' released in August 2005. "Civilian Services Boards" - [Chapter II(5) - General Policies. All pucblic services shall be monitored by specially constituted Civilian Services Boards comprising of non-elected, eminent members of the society who what no known political affiliations, specially chosen for their concern in the social front and possessing independence of thought process and exemplary character. These boards shall be entrusted with the setting up of a system of recruitment procedures and processes for selections for Government jobs which shall be carried-out on non religious, non-caste and non-political basis. Such Boards shall also be entrusted with the responsibility to look into specific complaints from the members of the public into the mis-behaviour or dereliction of duty by Government/Civil servants including the 'POLICE' and advise the Government accordingly so that corrective steps may be taken before things deteriorate.

If we have 10 (sincere) persons like these in Goa, we can make Goa the pearl we want it to be. But we fear that single handedly Joby is bound to lose heart and go on nursing frustrations like many before him. We would like all these fire-brands who think for GOA to participate in our first in the series of 'CONVENTIONS' titled ' TO GOA WITH LOVE' to be held in Margao in April, 2008. The theme being 'LETS GET TOGETHER AND DO IT' . To do What??. 'Show that we love GOA openly and unabashedly and that we can come together on this ONE agenda'.
