Free Access to Information

Free access to information means that people have the right to obtain and view information held by government, institutions, or organizations without unnecessary barriers or cost. It promotes transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making, ensuring citizens can understand how systems work and hold those in power accountable. This access supports democratic participation and helps prevent corruption, fraud, and abuse. While some sensitive information may be protected for security reasons, generally, free access encourages openness and the free flow of knowledge in society.
