Report on the Functioning of the AP Information Commission Submitted to the Governor

The State Chief Information Commissioner (SCIC) has submitted a detailed report to the Governor on the functioning of the Andhra Pradesh Information Commission (APIC). You can access the full report through the link below.

It is important to note that APIC commissioners are currently refusing to sign the attendance register. This refusal stems from an order passed by the SCIC, which requires commissioners to comply with attendance rules. The SCIC has also halted the salaries of commissioners who have failed to comply, resulting in an impasse.

In light of this situation, the SCIC has submitted the report to the Governor, outlining the ongoing issues and the steps being taken to ensure accountability and efficiency within the commission.

Urgent Call for Accountability: United Forum for RTI Appeals to APIC for Improved Functioning

 Dear Chief Commissioner and Commissioners,

We hope this email finds you well. Please find attached a formal letter from the United Forum for RTI Campaign-AP, raising critical concerns about the current functioning of the Andhra Pradesh Information Commission (APIC).

The letter highlights urgent issues, including non-compliance with attendance protocols, the growing backlog of RTI cases. We are also requesting a public meeting with RTI activists on the occasion of RTI Day (12th October 2024), either in person or online, to foster dialogue and explore potential improvements.

We kindly request your immediate attention to these matters to ensure the Commission’s efficient functioning and public trust.

Looking forward to your response.

Sincerely,  
Chakradhar Budda & Emmanuel Dasari  
State Co-Conveners, United Forum for RTI Campaign - AP
