Modern Ghana: Ghana: Wednesday, 3rd June 2026.
Transparency International
has disclosed that bureaucratic obstacles remain a major barrier to the
effective implementation of the Right to Information (RTI) Act across West
Africa, including Ghana.
The organization made this known during the presentation of its latest West Africa Right to Information Report and Policy Brief, which assessed the implementation of RTI laws in Ghana, Liberia, Togo, and Sierra Leone.
According to the report, despite Ghana having an operational RTI Act, awareness of the law remains low, leading to its underutilization. It also noted that some public institutions continue to delay or deny access to requested information.
