The Government has reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability and citizen empowerment through the implementation of the Access to Information Act (ATI), 2016.
Speaking during the launch of the inaugural National Report on the Implementation of the Act, Principal Secretary (PS) for Justice, Human Rights and Constitutional Affairs.
Judith Ramaita Pareno lauded the initiative as a key milestone in advancing constitutional rights and democratic governance. "This Report demonstrates the government's dedication to ensuring every Kenyan can access the information they are entitled to under the law; access to information empowers citizens, promotes accountability, and is a cornerstone of our constitutional democracy," said Pareno.
The PS noted that citizen engagement is only possible when people are empowered with knowledge and that is why the government remains committed to strengthening legal and institutional frameworks that support access to information.
