The very highhanded manner in which government jobs are being sold and doled is a fit case warranting Suo-motu cognizance by our High Court on this very serious issue.
For all recruitment to Group ‘C’ posts the Goa Staff Selection Commission was constituted last year which has been defunct from its very inception while Ministers merrily continue manipulating the recruitment through their departments.
Ministers and MLAs should have no role whatsoever and all the recruitment should be through a very transparent and meticulous process with merit being the sole guiding criteria in the selection of every government employee to any post.
Any political interference and manipulation is unacceptable, it being very unlawful. Infact the law requires that the selection, promotion and transfer of all government employees should be totally insulated from any political machinations whatsoever.
After the BJP in Goa came to power in 2012 we have seen thousands being brazenly recruited into government service with merit thrown to the winds. All this is reflecting in the pathetic functioning of the government offices with very incompetent staff having managed to creep in by paying for their jobs or blessings of their political god fathers.
