PESHAWAR: Despite popular perception, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s (K-P) Right to Information (RTI) law is still not in place.
As promised by the law, the public still has no facility to access information regarding any subject.
Yesterday, official sources said that while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had been busy garnering popularity over getting the bill passed in the provincial assembly.
In fact the RTI, also viewed as an effective block to the rampant corruption in government institutions, was still not part of the legislature.
The officials added the K-P governor is yet to sign the bill and so no official notification had been issued regarding the law in the official gazette.
The bill that was passed almost a month ago in the provincial assembly was pencilled in to be introduced with the 18th Amendment of 2010 and the delay in its official introduction still persists.
