THE Right to Information (RTI) Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to deepening transparency and accountability in public institutions, assuring citizens of greater access to information as guaranteed by law.

Executive Secretary of the Com­mission, Ms Genevieve Shirley, said the Commission would “work harder to strengthen compliance with the RTI Act so that citizens can access the information they seek from institutions with ease.”

She made the remarks in Accra yesterday at the launch of the Commission’s 5th Anniversary celebrations, held under the theme: “RTI @ 5; Championing Transpar­ency and Accountability through Access to Environmental Informa­tion in a Digital Era.”

Ms Shirley explained that since its establishment in 2020, the Com­mission had focused on promoting openness, empowering citizens to participate in governance, and holding institutions accountable.

Planned activities for the mile­stone she said include stakeholder engagements, media interactions, a national conference, team-building events, and a thanksgiving service as the climax. Ghana will also join the global community to observe the International Day for Universal Access to Information (IDUAI) 2025 under the theme: “Ensuring Access to Environmental Informa­tion in the Digital Age.”
