The Ministry of Information has urged managers of state institutions to release relevant information to the public, in accordance with the Right to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989).
According to the Head of the Access to Information Division at the ministry, Dr Winifred Nafisa Mahama, the Law mandates state institutions to furnish members of the public with the required information.
"Let the education trickle down to all staff, so that they will be acquainted with what the act says," she added as quoted by graphiconline.
Dr Mahama made this remark, speaking at a sensitisation workshop organised for officials of the Lands Commission in Koforidua in the Eastern Region.

Dr Mahama took the participants through relevant portions of Act 989 and touched on aspects such as the procedure for accessing information and the manner of information that could be accessed, what constituted offence under the RTI Law, as well as the applicable sanctions.
She said since the act was passed in 2019, the government had taken steps to ensure that staff of public institutions understood what it entailed to help guide them in the execution of their duties.
