RTI Commission reaffirms commitment to transparency, accountability - Ghanaian Times

The RTI Commission emphasizes that proactive transparency from public institutions is essential for true accountability. By encouraging agencies to publish information digitally, the commission aims to reduce reliance on formal requests, thereby fostering a culture of openness and empowering citizens to participate more effectively in governance. This strategic shift highlights the importance of digital accessibility in modern information rights. When institutions make data readily available online, it not only streamlines public access but also strengthens the legal framework governing transparency, ensuring that environmental and other critical information remains accessible in an increasingly digital society. Expanding regional offices further democratizes access to information rights across the nation. These structural improvements ensure that transparency is not limited to capital cities but reaches all citizens, reinforcing the relevance of open data in building an equitable and informed public sphere.
