Parliament Refusal To Pass RTI Bill Is A Big Lost To Ghana.

Newsghana.com: Ghana: Wednesday, January 18, 2017.

The age long Right to Information (RTI) Bill which has been described by many as the oldest Bill in Parliament suffered a major defeat when the Sixth Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana under the NDC led administration failed to pass the Bill into law before its tenure lapsed on 7th January, 2016. 

The Bill after undergoing a thorough review process initiated by a bi-partisan Select Committee of Parliament (the Select Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs), including a review of all the concerns raised by the public on the Bill, Parliament still could not pass the Bill into law despite several calls by CSOs and other well-meaning Ghanaians.
