ABSTRACT
“A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring
it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will
forever govern ignorance, and people who mean to be their own governors,
must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives.”
- James Madison, Former US President, 18221

ANALYSIS OF SECTION 2(f)
“RTI is a game changer. It has democratized information to the citizen’s
advantage. The citizen is central in the Act. Other countries offer freedom of
information while our legislation recognizes it as a right.”
- Mrs. Deepak Sandhu6
