RTI Would Be Law Before Parliament Rise In December

The Eastern Regional Minister and Member of Parliament (MP) for Nkawkaw, Mr Eric Kwakye Darfour, has assured that Parliament would pass the Right to Information (RTI) Bill into law before it rises in December this year.

The Regional Minister was responding to a questioner at the regional launching of the Star Ghana Foundation at Koforidua.

He explained that currently, the Bill was at the consideration state and Parliament was considering some clauses, which if care was not taken, could create difficulties in the implementation of the law.

He urged Ghanaians to be inquisitive and aspire to know what was going on to be able to actively take part in governance.

Mr Darfour said it was government’s hope that the creation of more districts and regions could help speed up the development of the country and increase the participation of the people in governance.
