Shailesh Gandhi on RTI -Part1

Shailesh Gandhi, the chief information commissioner for RTI Act, describes the history and scope of the Act and outlined the provisions, and even elaborated on the proper format and procedure for citizens to seek information.
he argued that public-private partnerships should come under the RTI Act. "A lot of public assets will be shifted to these PPPs soon, so these should be covered by the RTI. Otherwise, it will be like a fraud, when public resources are privatised without anybody's consent," Mr Gandhi said.
