Cabinet decisions come under RTI Act says Kerala CIC
Thiruvananthapuram: In a significant development that may make government business more transparent, the Kerala Information Commission has ordered that all decisions by the state government, once finalised in the cabinet, come under the ambit of the RTI Act.
The Commission also suggested that the government publish the cabinet decisions on its official website.
“The details of all cabinet decisions should be given once the procedures regarding those decisions are completed. It also should be considered seriously to upload the cabinet decisions on the government website,” the Commission observed.
State chief information commissioner Vinson M Paul issued the order while disposing of a complaint by RTI activist D B Binu against the decision of the state government, which denied him copies of the cabinet decisions taken from 1 January to 12 March under the RTI Act. Livemint
