Cabinet Approves RTI bill to be Set before Parliament
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has disclosed that cabinet has approved the Right to Information Bill and it has been sent to parliament for debate and approval. His announcement comes after increased agitations from civil groups, like the Right to Information Coalition that Penplusbytes is part of, pushing for the passage of the Bill, which has been on the shelves for nearly two decades. Right to Information is a fundamental human right guaranteed by the country’s 1992 constitution and recognised as a right under the International Conventions on Human Rights. The rationale behind the bill is to give right and access to official information held by public institutions, private entities which perform public functions with public funds. Dr. Bawumia added that in their quest to combat corruption, government is willing to ensure that the bill gets before parliament by the 23 rd of March 2018 as promised.
