Chief
Minister Oommen Chandy’s office has denied the report that it had been denying information sought under the
Right To Information Act.
In a release,
the CM’s office (CMO) claimed that it had been providing all information
whenever it is sought under the Right To Information Act.
Terming the
media reports that the CMO is denying the information when sought under the RTI
Act, the office said that it had been providing information on the CM’s Mass Contact Programme.
“The
follow-up action on the complaints received by the Chief Minister is
initiated through the District
Collector’s office.
So that, the
actual statistics of the petitions which have been settled and remain to be
solved will be available with the Chief Minister’s office at the
Collectorates,’’ it said.
The CMO also
said that the same was intimated to the complainants.
However,
there have been media reports that the CM’s office has been denying information
on the MCP, terming it as a mere public function.
