RTI Federation demands publication of assets of Information Commissioners

The State Committee of Kerala RTI Federation has demanded that the five Information Commissioners of the State Information Commission of Kerala, including the Chief Information Commissioner, should declare their assets and liabilities through the official website of the Commission.All the Information Commissioners of the Centre, including Chief Information Commissioner, have already published their Declarations of Assets and Liabilities in accordance with the Right to Information

Act, 2005, which is regarded as one of the most important legislations passed in India since Independence, the Committee said.The RTI law demands transparency at every stage in public service, which is steeped in so much dishonesty. Therefore it is high and right time that all the Information Commissioners of Kerala, including the Chief, publish their assets and liabilities without further delay, said Advocate D. B. Binu, general secretary of Kerala RTI Federation.
