One more dead RTI activist in Bhopal....
This song and drama show that the Government has imposed on us under the benevolence of granting RTI Act is a sham.
Public has fundamental right to know the process of governance. How it became a secret, unless appealed and applied under some ACT, rationed information will be given out? How our innocent citizens are made to believe that they got some wonderful Act!
I strongly hold to my position that the file noting and proceedings should be equally public as the order that got generated so long as it is public domain order. Any order which is issued in public domain shall necessarily be accompanied by the background file image on a secure web.
There shall not be secrecy. Any secret activity can have secret orders and secret files.
Just like Judiciary or the Parliament cannot act in secrecy. a bureaucrat also should not act in secrecy.
During the process of the file, till issue of the order, things can be kept secret. But not after issue of the final order.
This one single step makes the job of Lok Pal easy. Any aggrieved party can move a case of suspected corruption with readily available files and papers within 24 hrs of issue of the order. The irregularity can be proven then and there. Investigation expenses and time are saved. RTI Act becomes superfluous.
It is cost effective and time saving.
