BASL flags delay in appointing RTI Commission Chair | Daily FT
The Bar Association of Sri Lanka urges the immediate appointment of the RTI Commission chairperson, emphasizing that this prolonged vacancy severely hampers the commission's operational efficiency. By failing to fill this critical role, the Constitutional Council undermines its mandate to safeguard public access to information and maintain institutional integrity. This situation is directly relevant to open data advocates, as an inactive commission cannot effectively enforce transparency laws or ensure citizen access to government information.
