With the cabinet berths distributed, the scramble has now begun for Chairmanship of various government Corporations. Instead of appointing professionals to head these Corporations, very sadly they have become positions to give political refuge to the dead wood including defeated candidates.
While there are fully fledged departments to undertake their respective tasks, over the years parallel pointless Corporations have been created solely to rehabilitate politicians and allow them to merrily enjoy free perks and privileges at taxpayer’s expense.
Infact Kadamba Transport Corporation and the Waste Management Corporation are the only two whose existence is justifiable. All the other corporations are an unnecessary huge burden on our debt ridden State and must be wound up in public interest.
For rationalization in government spending, strong and sincere austerity measures need to be taken and such criminal waste of public funds on superfluous Corporations needs to end. Fiscal accountability and Responsibility has to be an ongoing sustained process with every paisa of the taxpayer very judiciously spent.
Due to the follies of successive governments we have landed in this huge fiscal upheaval. It is now the bounden duty and responsibility of the authorities to work towards restoring Goa back on the road to economic prosperity.
