ISLAMABAD: Civil society on Tuesday reacted strongly to the amendments proposed in KP Right to Information Act 2013 by ruling Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) claiming that proposed amendments are regressive and will seriously undermine the efficiency of the law.
Coalition on Right to Information (CRTI), a group of 55 civil society organisations working towards the enactment and implementation of right to information laws in Pakistan, strongly opposes the amendments proposed in KP RTI Act 2013.
In a statement issued on Monday, CRTI maintains that KP RTI Act 2013, in its current shape, is one of the effective and well implemented RTI laws in Pakistan but the PTI led provincial government is bringing back old colonial mindset again into play by making the process of getting information from public bodies more difficult.
