A LEGISLATOR on Tuesday announced that substantial progress has been made by a technical working group (TWG) tasked with fine tuning the Right To Information (RTI) bill.
TWG head Parañaque City 2nd District Rep. Brian Yamsuan said they have discussed amendments to more than half of the bill and agreed to adopt its non-contentious provisions to help speed up deliberations on the measure.
“As of March 2, which was our second TWG meeting, the panel has already discussed provisions covering 32 of the bill’s proposed 52 sections. We thank our fellow legislators, the officials of government agencies, the representatives from civil society organizations and other right-to-information advocates who have been providing valuable inputs and recommendations to finetune the provisions of the measure,” he said.
