THE LAW 101: Illegal extortionate RTI fees weaponised by rogue institutions against transparency - MyJoyOnline

In Ghana, the right to access official information held by public institutions is not a privilege or a product for sale. It is a fundamental human right guaranteed under Article 21(1)(f) of the 1992 Constitution and operationalised by the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2019 (Act 989). The law is fluorescently clear: access to information is free, and institutions may only recover the cost of reproduction - capped at 38 pesewas per A4 page under the Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2022 (Act 1080).
