Strengthening the nationwide implementation of the Right to Information (RTI) laws in Ghana, the Executive Secretary of the Right to Information Commission of Ghana, Yaw Sarpong Boateng Esq., met with the Director for Freedom of Information and Transparency of England, Mr. Warren Seddon, on Thursday, March 21, 2024. The meeting took place at the Information Commissioners office in England, facilitating an exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of information access and transparency.

The primary objective behind this visit was to foster a mutual learning environment, whereby both institutions could gain valuable insight into their respective legal frameworks. While Ghana has made significant strides in enacting RTI laws, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in England has already implemented corresponding regulations on access to information. Thus, the RTI Commission of Ghana is keen to adapt and learn from the Information Commissioner’s office in England and explore innovative ways to fortify the Commission’s operations and serve the people of Ghana more effectively.
