The Govt of Maharashtra on Wednesday recommended its former retd Chief Secretary Ratnakar Gaikwad’s name for appointment as the next State Chief Information Commissioner’s post.
Shri Gaikwad is under scanner of the CBI for his role as MMRDA Metropolitan Commissioner, wherein he issued CC & Then OC to the now famous Adarsh Society.Also as Chief Secretary he authored the modification in RTI Act, which is being protested all over, by this modification the essence of the RTI Act is being killed. Now with his appointment as CIC the RTI Act will face certain death.
This post was vacant since 24/07/2011 after the term of Shri Vilas Patil ended, since then it has appeared that the post was kept vacant for Shri Gaikwad which is indeed shocking. Due to this post being kept vacant almost 30,000 2nd appeals are pending before the CIC, for which the govt is responsible.We request to The GOVERENOR to cancel the appointment Shri Ratnakar Gaikwad and appoint some other capable person who can instill the promise of transparency which the Act entail’s.
