Owusu emphasised that the increase in complaints reflected growing public awareness and use of the RTI law.
He explained that many of the petitions stemmed from delays or outright denials of information, while others came from applicants dissatisfied with the responses they received.
He further disclosed that the full 2024 report is yet to be laid before Parliament, noting that the Commission has remained consistent in promoting awareness of the law.
