Cuncolim MLA, [Name], recently expressed his disappointment with the government’s response to his legislative assembly question. In a Facebook post, the MLA revealed that his question regarding the investigation into the recruitment process for Junior Engineers and Technical Assistants in the Public Works Department received a disheartening reply.
According to the MLA, the government’s response, dated January 18, 2023, stated that no committee had been formed to investigate the alleged recruitment scam. This revelation has raised serious concerns about the government’s commitment to addressing corruption charges, specifically the Rs. 70 crore scam that was brought to light by Panjim MLA Atanasio Monserrate.
Expressing his disappointment, the MLA suggested that the government may be attempting to cover up the misdeeds and protect those involved. He went on to express a lack of confidence in the current government, but expressed a glimmer of hope that they would, at the very least, conduct examinations transparently and select candidates based on merit.
The MLA’s remarks reflect the frustration among many citizens who are calling for greater transparency and accountability in the recruitment process. It remains to be seen whether the government will take action in response to these concerns or continue to face criticism for its handling of the matter.
