Citizens-Verifiable Public Funds Spending - so that activists do not have to face harassment or threat of life when they demand RTI to display public fund



.
Today, corruption has increased in the country due to which the quality of roads has decreased considerably. There are many more damages due to corruption. And the public does not have any public evidence that can be used to punish the corrupt person and prevent corruption. Activists have to beg for information by putting RTI application and many times months later, the information / evidence is still not public.
.
What is the solution ?
.
We, the residents of __ (your city name), demand from the Commissioner of (your city name) to make a website and put the following details regarding the construction and repair of roads in (your city name) so that citizens can keep watch on the quality of roads -
.
1. Contract bids and Contractors info : Contracts were given on what basis to whom along with name of deciding officer
2. Counter Pad info of all Cheque-books issued for government expenditure – name of officer who passed the expenditure
3. Past Contracts -- Contracts and expenditures from previous fiscal years must be included on the website according to previously told details.
4. More powerful searches: Tracking Contractor specific payments made easier for residents so they can now easily search for the Contractor’s location, the month the payment was awarded, which officer passed the payment or inspected the materials used in road construction or easily distinguish grants from contracts.
5. Detailed Report of inspection of sample of materials used in the road – name of officers who conducted the inspection
.
So that need for RTI is reduced and activists do not face harassment or life-threat due to RTI. And if some corruption etc. wrong is happening, activists can take steps to stop it.
.
If you support this demand, please put your name and Voter number (or address if you do not have Voter number) below on this paper. This will be put on internet publicly so that others can contact and cross-verify the data and the government officials cannot escape via transfer etc. means and will have to implement this. If sufficient number of Voter number supports are displayed, wherever the government officials go, the citizens will ask them to give a good reason why they have not acted when thousands / lakhs of people are demanding this.
.
Also, please call / sms Municipal Commissioner of (your city name) (mobile number - ___) and instruct him regarding these demands.
.
Serial number Name Voter number / Address
