some Available Anti-Corruption Laws in India
RTI Act, 2005
viz-à-viz
JanLokpal (CBI, CVC, CAG).
Part – IV
Continued Part - IV
| RTI Act, 2005. | JAN LOKPAL / LOKPAL |
| ENACTED | PROPOSED BILL |
| 6. ONUS (Burden of Proof) | |
| Onus is On a Government person (please refer to section 19(5) of the RTI Act), to prove that it is not escaping Corruption. | Onus is On Lokpal to establish by indictment that Government person is escaping Corruption.
|
| 7. Time taken to Disclose Information v/s. Indictment of a Person | |
| The concept of disclosure of information being almost a mathematical one, on an average, a disposal of a case at Information Commission level should be approx. 15 minutes | On an average months to a year to establish indictment. |
| 8. CITIZENS THEMSELVES V/S. SOME PEOPLE ON THEIR BEHALF | |
| Employers over Employees. | Employees over Employees. |
| RTI empowers each of the Citizens as vigilance inspectors / investigators over the entire Government. | Another small set of people empowered on behalf of the citizens as vigilance inspectors / investigators over limited sections of Government. |
| Lokpal Irony:
Some Vigilance Inspectors Agitating for Vigilance Inspectors on their behalf: Recently, Lakhs of self-motivated & passionate Citizens, who themselves are empowered under RTI Act, 2005 as anti-corruption Vigilance Inspectors over the entire Government,
Ironically, they were agitating against the Government for demanding a few salaried & dispassionate Policing Vigilance Inspectors on their behalf????? | |
