In a landmark decision Ghana's Right to Information Commission ordered an information request by journalist Evans Aziamor-Mensah be granted at a cost of US$0.33 and not the US$1,000 initially quoted by the Minerals Commission.
This statement was originally published on mfwa.org on 21 July 2021.
Ghana’s Right to Information (RTI) Commission has delivered what many consider as a milestone decision that signals the Commission’s commitment to ensure an effective implementation of the country’s new RTI law (RTI Act, 2019, Act 989).
