Panaji MLA alleges scam in PWD JE job recruitments

PANAJI

After bitterly complaining against the process of job recruitments in the GMC, Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate, St Andre MLA Francis Silveira and St Cruz MLA Tony Fernandes also alleged a scam in the recruitments of junior engineers in the PWD.

Monserrate, Silveira and Fernandes met Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and complained about allegations of corruption while recruiting JE’s in PWD and demanded that the list be scrapped and recruitment be conducted through the staff selection commission.

The three MLAs squarely blamed PWD Minister Deepak Pauskar and the PWD principal chief engineer for the scam.

“We told Chief Minister Pramod Sawant that the PWD has sold the jobs,” said Monserrate.

"I am making a direct allegation that the PWD minister and the principal chief engineer have taken money for the post of junior engineers,” said Monserrate.

“It is high time that these posts are filled through the staff selection commission. I have got people to tell me that the minister has taken money,” alleged Babush.
