On October 12, 2005, the Right to Information (rti) Act came into force. rti activists seemed to have won their battle to provide citizens with rights to information about the government's working. But little had they reckoned for what was in store. Barely two months after the rti act came in to force, the legislation has become a convenient tool for retired bureaucrats to garner cosy and secure sinecures as state information commissioners (sics). Once appointed, these officials cannot be removed for five years, other than through an order of the Supreme Court.
The act actually states that "each state will have an information commission headed by a sic, who will be a person of eminence in public life with wide knowledge and experience in law
