&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Secrecy in amending the RTI Act as well as in the appointment of Information Commissioners in the CIC reveal the government&#039;s intention to destroy the spirit of the transparency law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With over 6 million information applications filed every year, the Indian Right to Information (RTI) Act is the most extensively used transparency legislation globally. The law has empowered ordinary citizens to hold the government accountable. It has been used for a range of issues: from exposing lapses in the delivery of essential services and violation of basic rights, to questioning the highest authorities of the country on their performance, their decisions, and even their conduct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A critical provision of the RTI Act, which gives it teeth, is the setting up of independent information commissions, in states and at the centre, to receive appeals and complaints about violations of the Act. The commissions are the final adjudicators under the law and are empowered to direct governments to disclose information and impose penalties on erring officials. Thus, the information commissions are seen as playing a critical role in guaranteeing peoples&amp;rsquo; right to information.&lt;br /&gt;
