GWS KUWAIT'S CHICKANERY EXPOSED.

Sub: Extra-Ordinary General Body Meeting held on 29th August at Carlton Hotel

As a member who attended the above subject meeting, I am compelled to make the following comments:

Apparently, the meeting was not called to discuss the agenda as outlined in the "Notice to Members" dated August 29, 2008 signed by Ms.Sharon De Sousa, but to target those members who are determined to unravel the truth about the ulterior motives of those responsible for the affairs of the Goan Welfare Society. Mr.Wilson Coelho, arrogantly and blatantly pointed an accusing finger at me. Mr.Coelho said,

quote "Suresh says, teh chor mure, teh chor mure, tenim poixe khaile mure" unquote.

As a responsible Goan expatriate, I enjoy considerable respect in professional and social circles and, I would not stoop so low as to utter such trash. The former Vice-President of GWS, claimed that people on the football grounds had said the above quoted words which, unfortunately and without evidence, Mr.Coelho attributed to me. This subject was also stirred up during the meeting held at the Fakhrudeen Hotel in the past.

Being a member of the Goan Welfare Society, it is my inalienable right to know about the accounts of the Goan Welfare Society.

I still say that the logic behind the Fixed Deposits Certificates kept in the personal names of individuals is the root cause of all the trouble and suspicion. I recollect that the funds were supposed to be transferred in the name of new committee members elected during the tenure when Mr.Tony Cordeiro was the President of GWS. What is your answer Mr.Coelho? Do not force me to dig deeper.

NRI Hospital Project Goa. A Big DREAM on Expatriates Goans in Kuwait.

Mr. Wilson Coelho, inspired by the devil, came up with a lucrative project to build a HOSPITAL in Goa claiming that many Goan doctors are working in Kuwait. Mr Coelho called 2 (Two) meetings to discuss the project, and ostensibly called some Goan doctors to attend the meetings. The meetings were held at the residence of Mrs. Muriel Alphonso. I was assigned the task to prepare a Preliminary Layout, plan and feasibility report and, subsequently, without suspecting the fraudulent intentions of Mr. Coelho, I put my time and efforts to professional design the proposed Hospital Project for 150 beds with facilities for Resident Doctors and Nurses (This was also advertised in a Goa Day souvenir that year). The hospital would also have a modern canteen. Where is the Hospital Mr.Coelho? Or are you still nurturing thoughts of playing a second fraud? Beware, one can fool all the people some of the time or some of the people all the time but not, all the people all the time.

NRI City Project at Verna,Goa. A second DREAM on the Expatriates Goans in Kuwait.

Mr.Wilson Coelho, in conspiratorial conivence with Mr. Rabindra Pimenta, came with a proposal to build a NRI City at Verna,Goa and indicated that a huge tract of land measuring 150,000 square meters was available at the flat rate of Rs.50/- (Rupees Fifty) only per square meter. (I was not introduced to the landlord). Being a professional in the construction industry, I advised Mr.Coelho that we need to check the "Title Deed and other relevant Documents" and also obtain comments from the Town Planning Department. Mr.Pimenta intervened and said that advocate would charge Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand) only to verify the Property Documents and further added that Goan Welfare Society would NOT pay these fees to the Advocate. Strange logic. NRI City for Goans to be built by GWS BUT not willing to pay Rs.5,000/- to the advocate. I immediately retorted by saying that we THREE (Mr.Coelho, Mr.Pimenta and myself) can contribute the fees for the advocate.

I then called my colleague in the Panjim Town Planning Department and requested him to visit the property and to brief me on the subject. My colleague called me and informed me that there was every possibility, that the Goa Government may acquire the property and that, only Mr.Manohar Parrikar, the then Chief Minister of Goa had the authority to release the land for the NRI City Project.

Mr.Coelho then asked me to prepare the layout for the project with allocation of plots and to conduct feasibility study detailing the expenditure. Consequently, I prepared a layout with 350 Plots in addition to a Kindergarten School, a Supermarket, a Health Clinic and other infrastructural facilities.

One day, Mr.Coelho called me at least 5 times and said that the next day he would go to Goa to see the Chief Minister, Mr.Parrikar. Mr.Coelho said that he wanted to review the project to answer any queries that may be raised up by Mr.Parrikar. Subsequently, through my contacts, I came to know that Mr.Coelho NEVER discussed the project with Mr.Parrikar and, on the contrary, Mr.Coelho managed to obtain favors for his personal glory and satisfaction.

Further, I had told Mr.Coelho that if the cost of the land is Rs.50/- per square meter than, another amount of Rs.10/- (Rupees Ten) only will have to be added to cover other expenditure like:(a) Development Fees, (b) Land Conversion Fees, (c) Panchayat License Fees, (d) PWD Fees, etc. I was even generous to inform Mr.Coelho that I would provide FREE Technical Services for the project, as I was more than happy to be associated with the project.

The above are just fabrications of lies and deceit to tarnish my reputation because I dig deeper into the concerned files of GWS affairs.

Further, Mr Coelho, for how long will you keep the GWS members in the dark? Your assertion that you won the case filed by Mr.Alexander Fernandes is totally baseless As Mr.Alexander Fernandes has clarified that he had withdrawn the case on 3 conditions but, you till date you have failed to fulfill the 3 conditions to honor your words.

Finally, Mr.Coelho your dreams are over and NRI City will not come up if you sleep over it and the present market rate. Indulging in fabrication and lies will lead to more lies and, so on and, so forth till the devil will have the LAST LAUGH.

Have a Nice day.
Mog asun dhi.
