Until the Right to Information act was passed, government officials were accountable, in theory, but because nobody could ever get any dirt on them, this accountability remained largely theoretical.

A combination of the RTI, the provision of governmental services online, and universal connectivity can work a revolution in the way governance functions, by realising this accountability.

I'm talking about the government and its officials, and the bureaucrats of the Administrative Service, not people at large.

Remember that the government has the resources and the authority to fix almost everything within five years, it just lacks the will. so politicians are killing babies? this is an amazing fact I just now learned on the internet.
