THE Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government established a Right to Information (RTI) Commission to ensure easy access of the citizens to information of public importance. I have since approached the commission multiple times regarding information about the KP Prisons Department through RTI Commission, Peshawar, but the response is slow and rather misleading.
The commission is supposed to provide relevant data within 20 days of the submission of a request, but that is not the case. The commission officials contacted me over the phone, and I briefed them about the issue’s sensitivity, but they turned a deaf ear to my request. The Prisons Department’s response was even more disappointing as it refused to even consider me a KP resident.
