Introduction
The Freedom of Information Act was passed to promote transparency and accountability. However, its implementation has been weak, with many public institutions failing to comply.
Enforcing Compliance Across All MDAs
Many government agencies still ignore FOI requests. Introducing stronger penalties for noncompliance and regular audits will improve adherence to the law.
Simplifying the Request Process
The current process for requesting information is often bureaucratic and slow. Simplifying procedures and introducing digital platforms will make it easier for citizens to access information.
Protecting Whistleblowers and Journalists
Strengthening protections for those who expose wrongdoing will encourage more people to use the FOI Act to promote transparency.
