Accra, Oct. 02, GNA – President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says the citizens’ ability to access information should not be merely a procedural aspect of governance, but a fundamental pillar of democracy.
Therefore, it was incumbent upon public officials to be open transparent and accountable by providing the necessary information to the citizens to make informed decisions.
He, thus, underscored the need to make access to Information a fundamental human right for all by shifting from the mindset of “secrecy to openness” because information was the lifeblood of democratic participation.
President Akufo-Addo made these remarks in a speech read on his behalf by the Minister of Education Yaw Osei Adutwum, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 International Day for Universal Access to Information in Accra on Tuesday.
