Public Access to Information

Public Access to Information refers to the principle that individuals have the right to obtain information held by government bodies and public institutions. This access promotes transparency, accountability, and informed citizenship, enabling people to engage with and understand their government’s actions. Laws and regulations often govern this access, ensuring that citizens can request and receive information about public spending, policies, and decisions. By facilitating access to information, society encourages participation in democracy and helps combat corruption, ultimately leading to more responsible governance.
