One Day Seminar On Ghana's RTI Bill Held In Washington DC

The proposed Right To Information (RTI) Bill of Ghana which has been in the country's Parliament for over a decade and a half without being passed, is expected to give the public access to information held by public institutions and private entities which use state funds.

According to President Akufo-Addo of Ghana in his March 6, 2018, independence day address, the government has set a fresh timeline to get the RTI passed and it will be before the rising of parliament this year... Mr. Kevin Taylor of Loud Silence Media on March 9, 2018, played host to an RTI ​( https://lnkd.in/dmHTz8A) ​ seminar at the Embassy of Ghana in Washington DC, USA.
