Act passed, but no information officers appointed

Mar 30, 2017

Especially, police and the three armed forces do not have their information officers, and the information sought cannot be given. 

 

With the implementation of the RTI, large numbers have sought information, but some state institutions refuse to give the information requested, said commission member S.G. Punchihewa.

 

This is a violation of the people’s right to information, he said, adding that the Media Ministry has been told to appoint the information officers where necesary.
