BEWARE HOTEL GOAN HERITAGE SHAREHOLDERS.

I refer to the debate going on in Kranti on the Looting of Kuwait Goan Evacuees Society’s fund. I am dejected to know that two of the members of KGES are the directors of Hotel Goan Heritage. As a wellwisher of  Hotel Goan Heritage my concern for the safety of Heritage Hotel is increased because people of questionable character are in the Board. People have lost the confidence in both the Wilsons – Coelho & Rodrigues because they are part of the loot committed by Kuwait Goan Evacuees Society.

Secondly there was heavy news in Kuwait in pre-invasion period that one Cordeiro working for Air India Office in Kuwait was sacked for committing financial irregularities. This same Cordeiro is also one Director of Heritage. Total directors of questionable characters in Heritage became three, hence there is risk for the Hotel. Shareholders must make a move to throw them out before they rob Heritage also. I don’t know how shareholders are tolerating robbers in the company Board.

A CONCERNED WELLWISHER.

IN REPLY TO VERONICA'S ARTICLE.

Further to the article"LOOTERS OF KUWAIT EVACUEES MONEY" in this forum on 24th of this month written by A. Veronica Fernandes, I fully agree with his statements.. Kuwait Goan Evacuees Society has really collected money from Kuwait returnees with the false promise to take them back to Kuwait. I was a victim of their false promise and finally nothing came out.

 

Not a single Goan returned to Kuwait thru the efforts of Evacuees Society. So where the collected money gone?

 

Wilson Coelho and Wilson Rodrigues are the two main persons in this society. Hence they  have got responsibility to accept this blunder. They both are part of this robbery committed by and on behalf of Kuwait Evacuees Society.

They are both involved in Gulf Goans Hotels Company’s Board. It is a  risky thing to keep them in the board when their record is so bad.  Given a chance they will swallow the entire Hotel Heritage. Share holders must be careful of them..

Wilson Coelho was once castigated by one Goan lady publicly in Kuwait for demanding Sex from her daughter in exchange of the job. He is acting like Narvenkar by demanding sex for the favours done by him. It is a shame for Gulf Goans Hotels Co. to have such a sex maniac in its board.

RTI REVEALS THAT CRIMINAL CASES AGAINST POLITICIANS WERE WITHDRAWN TO HAVE A ‘CONDUCIVE’ ATMOSPHERE

By Aires Rodrigues.

The Manohar Parrikar government decided to withdraw criminal cases pending against ruling party politicians to have a conducive atmosphere in the State. This has been revealed in information obtained from the Home department under the Right to Information Act.

The file notings reveal that at a meeting held on 15th May in the office of the Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and attended by Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni, Law Secretary Pramod Kamat and Director of Prosecution Shobha Dhumaskar a discussion was held on various criminal cases pending against politicians in various Courts.

The same day a note was moved and Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni in his noting stated that a circular may be issued through the Director of Prosecution that the policy of the government is not to pursue criminal cases against politicians provided the cases are not of very heinous crimes like murder, rape, looting robbery or such serious offences.

The noting was approved by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on the same day while directing the Director of Prosecution to issue the circular directing the withdrawal of cases pending against politicians.

The Director of Prosecution Shobha Dhumaskar accordingly promptly issued a circular to all the Prosecutors and Assistant PublicProsecutors conveying the policy of the government to withdraw criminal cases against politicians provided they cases are not ofheinous nature such as murder, rape, looting, robbery or such seriousoffences. On receipt of the circular the Public Prosecutors and Assistant PublicProsecutors moved swiftly and withdrew the criminal cases pending invarious courts against various Ministers and MLAs including Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly Mr. Rajendra Arlekar.

This high handed move of the government in withdrawing criminal casesagainst politicians is a blatant interference in the admistration of Justice. Nobody  can be above the law. Such a discriminatory move to help only  politicians escape from their alleged offences is impermissible in theeyes of Justice.

The decision taken by the government in the guise of having a conducive atmosphere in the State is ridiculous. One wonders why the government did not use the same yardstick and withdraw all criminal cases not pertaining to heinous crimes which are pending against the common citizens.

The extension in service and pay hike given to Director of Proscution Shobha Dhumaskar despite an F.I.R pending against her, was a planned move by the government to facilitate the withdrawal of cases against politicians.
