> PILDAT Lauds Pakistan�s Lead in the Global RTI Ranking; Demands early Passage of RTI Law at the Centre and in Sindh and Balochistan Provinces
   
 

July 22, 2015
Islamabad
   

July 22: PILDAT has welcomed the highest score that Pakistan�s draft Right to Information (RTI) law has been able to obtain in an international assessment of similar laws around the world.

  
 


The Canada-based Center for Law and Democracy-CLD announced today in a statement that the draft Right to Information law, prepared by the Government of Pakistan, has scored impressive 146 points on the RTI international rating, which would put Pakistan 11 points ahead of the next best right to information law (of Serbia) in the world. The CLD monitors and analyses RTI laws around the world under seven categories and 61 indicators.

  
 


Pakistan, with its current outdated Freedom of Information Ordinance 2002, is placed at 83rd position out of 102 countries with a score of 66. India is in the 3rd position with a score of 128.

  
 


If the Parliament of Pakistan passes the RTI law in its present or even improved form, Pakistan will have the honour of having the best RTI law in the world.

  
 


Earlier, the provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had passed progressive RTI laws in 2013 though KP law suffered a set back when its Assembly amended the law in early 2015 making it restrictive and less progressive.

  
 


PILDAT has commended Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the Government of Pakistan and especially its Ministry of Information, which is steering the RTI bill, for drafting an effective and progressive law and appealed to the Government and the Parliament to pass the law at the earliest.

  
 


PILDAT also appealed to the Provincial Governments of Sindh and Balochistan to replace their current outdated Freedom of Information laws with progressive RTI laws that are in tune with the current times.

  
 


PILDAT also hoped that the KP Government would take urgent steps to restore the progressive character of its RTI act in line with the vision of PTI Chairman, Mr. Imran Khan.

  
 


PILDAT has also asked the Federal Government to further improve the RTI law in line with the recommendations made by the CLD.
