Re: RTI Act has not helped much: Chief Justice

The RTI Act is a feeble act despite what it promises to accomplish.
The Preamble of the Act set out a very big agenda on this Sunshine Act.

Like "containing corruption", "Transparency in public life", "Accountability", "informed citizenry", "Governance" etc. etc.. etc...

In reality we find nothing of sorts happening.

The Deterrence built into the act are too week to accomplish any of the above stated objectives.

This coupled with insensitive attitude & poor administration from those who ought to make this act successful have left this Act in complete shambles.

Everytime someone shouts something negative about this act we take a dig at him saying that the act is still in it's infancy.

So Let's hope this infant grows up sooner rather than later.
