Re: The biggest users of RTI are Government employees: Kejariwal

I repeat that this is a very sensitive issue. It can be interpreted anyway one like. Shall we analise it more frankly. Why the RTI Act ? It is only due to the public hostile attitude of the government servants. What is the impediments in the smooth functioning of the RTI Act ? Because most of the government servants are not cooperating ? What are the Activists fight about ? To make the government servants abide by the explicit provisions of the RTI Act. What is one of the serious objections of the Activists ? Appointment of ex-bureaucrates as Chiefs who find it impossible to change themselves from the prevelent system to accommodate RTI Act ? Now do you want the same public servants to block the 80% capacity of the Commission creating a bottle-neck ?
In fact I had suggestted to the CIC a fair system to get over the problem. Earmark one Information Commissioner exclusively for government emplyees. This means instead of 80% capacity 20% of the Commission capacity be earmarked for the government employees thus making 80% available to rest of WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA. I am sure that this suggestion also is likely to attract the wrath of government employees. Ke...zara....zara....
