To,
Shri. Manohar Parrikar,
The Honourable Chief Minister of Goa,
Secretariat,
Panjim-Goa.
Respected Sir,
Subject: Clarification Requested On Govt. "ORDER"
We take the liberty of attaching two attachments to this correspondence.
The first one is the Newspaper cutting detailing the enhanced salaries and
perquisits of Ministers and MLAs of the government of Goa.
The second is the "Order" issued by the Health Department, Government of
Goa regarding the settling of the arreas with respect to the retired State
Nutrition Officer, Dr. N.S. Dumo.
The clarification sought from your good office is:
Whereas, the the lawmakers do not miss, in the slightest, the opportunities
to make laws to enhancement their own salaries and perquisites every now
and then, what is the criterion on which the below reproduced ORDER of the
Cabinet, based, to arrive at the figure of Rs. 2 lakhs, payable to the above
named Government Officer who, because of the malafide inter-departmental
strife, has not been paid his well earned salary for the working lifetime of
past 29 long years? Pray, why such a large sum of Rs. 2 lakhs? Why not a
symbolic rupees 2 only, in the name of your brand of "Good Governance?"
Or is your good government just dishing out the well deserved "CHANDA"
that must be meekly accepted with a grateful " thank you?".
The Honourable Supreme Court has observed that the payment of salary to a
government employee is not a bounty which depends on the sweet will of the
government, but is the right earned by the employee through his/her services
to the state.
Your kind response shall be highly appreciated.
Thanking you,
for Goa Su-Raj Party
