Right to information act - right to question everything

Right to information act - right to question everything

Jan 15, 2017

The Lanka News Web is now raising awareness among journalists and citizenry about the right to information act (RTI). This act is amongst the powerful laws in South Asia as well as the entire world. Instead of establishing the citizenry’s right to such a powerful law, how unfortunate is that unresponsiveness prevails?

Citizens should establish the right to question their political authority and its allied institutions and officials. That is for a reason – because the country is run and the rulers prevail with the tax money you pay out of your purse.
Therefore, be prepared to embrace the pride that has come in search of you.
