The Anti-Corruption Fund Foundation supports the position of the Access to Information Programme against the proposed amendments to the Access to Public Information Act

The Anti-Corruption Fund Foundation supports the Access to Information Programme’s position against the proposed amendments to the Access to Public Information Act. Our team actively uses the tools of the Act to obtain and verify crucial public information that would otherwise remain hidden from the public. We often fight lawsuits against illegal refusals of information, which carry considerable costs. The new provisions of the Act would lead to arbitrary setting of fees on receiving information, putting an additional financial burden on the applicants seeking public information.
