It is deplorable that the Governor of Goa Dr. S.S.Sidhu as head of the State
is himself scuttling the RTI Act which was enacted to ensure transparency
and accountability in the functioning of the administration.
Though the Governor is a notified “Public Authority” under the Act he now
claims he is not one. If the Governor is allowed to circumvent the RTI Act,
the enforcement of the Act itself would collapse in the State of Goa.
If Governor Dr. Sidhu is not a public authority he should not hoist the
national flag on behalf of the people of Goa this Republic day on
26thJanuary. The people of Goa may also have to demand the recall of
Governor
Sidhu for violating the law by not complying and furnishing information
under the RTI Act.
