Guyana should set timeframe for FOI law
By Miranda La Rose
A recommendation that Guyana should enact Free-dom of Information (FOI) legislation within a clear timeframe and make efforts to implement it fully was among several made at the just concluded Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA)-sponsored Parliament and media workshop.
This recommendation followed two sessions which dealt exclusively with FOI legislation and experiences of its implementation in other countries at the workshop which was held at the Grand Coastal Inn, Le Ressouvenir over the past four days.
The workshop also recommended that efforts should continue between Parliament and the media with a view to the development and establishment of a mutually beneficial professional rapport following presentations by the CPA resource team, questions and interventions from participants.
