A Ranking Member of the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, Inusah Fuseini has downplayed the possibility of the Right to Information (RTI) bill being passed before Friday when Parliament rises for recess.<\/p>\n
He said the limited days available to the house makes it impossible for it to consider the bill even if it is filed under a certificate of urgency.<\/p>\n
The Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, after increased agitations from civil society groups like the Right to Information Coalition, pushing for the passage of the Bill, announced on Monday that the revised version of the Right to Information Bill has been approved by Cabinet <\/a><\/strong>and forwarded to Parliament.<\/p>\n
