10 Dec, 2011news
On the question regarding concerns raised by Ministers on the RTI Act affecting the government's functioning, the Minister of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions V Narayanasamy replied in affirmative to the Rajya Sabha. He said "some concerns have been expressed that the improper use of Right to Information Act and indiscriminate and impracticable demands for disclosure of sundry information unrelated to transparency and accountability in the functioning of public authorities may adversely affect the efficiency of administration." He added that the officers need not have fear while giving their free and frank advice on government matters.
