Speed Up RTI Bill – Oquaye to MPs

Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, has directed the Joint Committee on Constitutional Legal and Parliamentary Affairs and Communication to expedite action on the Right to Information (RTI) Bill.

Parliament reconvened on Tuesday, 15 May 2018, for the Second Meeting of the Second Session of the Seventh Parliament of the Fourth Republic.

Addressing legislators on Tuesday, Prof Oquaye told the Joint Committee to ensure it completes work on the RTI Bill expeditiously and “make a report as quickly as possible in order for us to deliberate thereof”.

He further urged the legislators not to relent on their efforts to curb illegal mining and also work diligently to work on the other 48 bills scheduled for business during this session.
