Follow-up on the Citizen’s right to access information law

Status :		On Going
Cost :
Source of Fund :		Government Budget
Scope :		The formed committee, which consists of a judge from the Council of State and three lawyers, was assigned to draft the law. The draft was then submitted to the Legislative & Consultative Board, the Council of State, the Civil Service Council, the Central Inspection and the Research and Guidance for review and comments.

In order to bridge the gap between the administration and the citizen and to enhance transparency, a proposed law was drafted that gives the citizen access to all administrative documents except those categorized as secretive or related to national security.
The proposed law also requires all administrations to reduce the number of required administrative decisions to a minimum in order to limit possible abuse of power as much as possible.
