General News of Saturday, 30 March 2019Source: citinewsroom.com‘Bow your heads in shame for delaying RTI passage’ – Casely Hayford to ParliamentCasely HayfordA member of pressure group, Occupy Ghana Sydney Casely Hayford believes Parliament does not deserve commendation for passing the Right to Information Bill (RTI) into law. Parliament finally passed the RTI Bill into law on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, after almost two decades. Speaking on Citi FM’s News Analysis Programme, The Big Issue, Mr. Casely Hayford said MPs should rather be ashamed for unnecessarily delaying the passage. I do not think anybody in Parliament with a conscience should come and sit down and crow about it and say that Parliament has done well. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in its 2008 and 2012 election manifestos promised to ensure the Bill was passed.
