Somewhere along the line, the colored use of the RTI as activism and it's political uses/misuse does not seem to bode well for it.
Wonder whether those that worked for it, and those that drafted it, ever had that in mind, presumably, just that the transparency shall lead to lesser exploitation, possibly justice being meted out to the weak.

I also support the RTI Act in its present form. Any change is meant to protect the corrupt or the potential corrupt person. No well meaning government will take up such an exercise.BR LallFrom: Justice Kamleshwar Nath <justicekn@gmail.com>

National PPP Policy 2011 - Draft for Consultation
PPP Projects Viz RTI Act 2005
During RTI Convention 2010, it was opined that 'Public Private Partnerships' (PPP) projects ought to be under RTI Act 2005.
In this context on 04 January 2011, Shri Satyananda Mishra the Hon'ble CIC had written a letter to Shri Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission.
The said CIC letter was responded by Shri Montek Singh Ahluwalia on 14 March 2011.
Both these letters can be read on CIC website on following links
http://cic.gov.in/IMP-Letters/Letter-To-DyChairman-on-PPP.pdf
http://cic.gov.in/IMP-Letters/Reply-From-DC-14032011.pdf
Media had given adequate coverage to above letters.
Draft of National PPP Policy 2011 Promulgated by Ministry of Finance
On 27 September 2011, the Ministry of Finance has promulgated "Draft of PPP Policy 2011" and solicited views / suggestions from all stakeholders by 15 October, 2011. The Min Of Finance circular can be perused on Link below:
http://pppinindia.com/draftpolicy.php
The National draft PPP Policy 2011 can also be downloaded (PDF) from Link :
http://pppinindia.com/pdf/draftnationalppppolicy.pdf
My Take :
Since huge amount of 'Public Assets' are used by the Centre and State Governments for contracting PPP Projects... It is but natural that People act as Watchdogs to ensure accountability in the expenditure of PPP projects V/s benefits accrued to society at large.
Therefore while signing contracts the Centre & State Governments must ensure that the PROJECT comes within the perview of RTI Act 2005.
Now its Our Call:
PLEASE SEND YOUR VIEWS/SUGGESTIONS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
Best
