Coalition wants Right to Information Bill Passed this year

The Convener of the Coalition on the Right to Information, Professor Kwame Karikari, has added his voice to the campaign for the passage of the Right to Information, RTI, Bill. 

According to him, for the past 15 years, efforts to get a law enacted to grant citizens access to information have proved futile. 

Speaking at a lecture to commemorate this year's World Press Freedom Day in Accra, Professor Karkari urged the opposition parties, Civil Society Organisations and the media to champion the passage of the RTI bill this year. 

Meanwhile, as Ghana joined other countries across the globe to commemorate World Press Freedom Day on Monday, Radio Ghana went round town to solicit the views of a section of the populace on the performance of the media. 

While some people said they are satisfied with the performance of the media others expressed discontent and challenged media practitioners to do more.
