Weltner, Justice,
concurring.
I cannot dispute the proposition that the doctrine of sovereign immunity is outmoded and imperfect. Nor can I quarrel with Justice Clarke’s logic in his observation that its application to this case must *455of necessity vitiate for want of mutuality all contracts in which the Department of Transportation is a party. Yet, it is still the law of Georgia, 1976 Ga. Const., Art. VI, Sec. V, Par. I; Code Ann. § 2-3401, and, until mitigated by the General Assembly or altered by the people, should be recognized as such.
