Politics of Sunday, 31 March 2019Source: Myjoyonline.comNo political party deserves praises for RTI law – Asiedu NketiaSecond Deputy Speaker of Parliament Alban S.K Bagbin and Majority leader Osei Kyei Mensa-BonsuNDC General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia has said civil society organisations must take the plaudits for the passage of the Right to Information Bill, not politicians. Asiedu Nketia recalled the RTI bill first came to his attention in 1999 while he was an MP in Parliament. Public advocacy for the law operationalising a constitutional right for public information has begun and was growing. The RTI bill got to this stage in December 2016 marking its most progressive stage in the process since 2010. It confirmed his suspicion that it is too early to celebrate the passage of the law, he indicated.
