MEDIA HAS TIME TO PROPAGATE WHAT BILLAWAL ZARDARI AND VENA MALIK IS SAYING BUT KPK's RIGHT OF INFORMATION BILL largely gone unnoticed

KPK info bill a catalyst for change

ISLAMABAD: Although promulgation of Right to Information (RTI) Ordinance in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has largely gone unnoticed in the media, it is set to become a catalyst for change by practically recognising the people’s right to know through a law considered one of the best in the world.


While majority of the media persons are unaware of the efficacy of an RTI law that breaks the culture of secrecy and ends monopoly of ‘privileged’ journalists, it is equally useful for the public, allowing them to seek out information about anything and of any department run by public money. “The KP RTI Ordinance contains all the features that are vital for a strong RTI law. This is why it scores 143 and is positioned at the top of global RTI rankings,” commented a World Bank expert.


Before discussing the salient features of the RTI Ordinance promulgated in the KP, it is important to understand Pakistan’s position on global level regarding introduction of the laws promoting transparency and curbing corruption. This law existed in only 13 countries just a couple of decades ago, according to a World Bank briefing note. Now is introduced in 90 countries though it differs in effectiveness, depending on the structure and scope of legal framework.


Bangladesh and Nepal followed. Now India stands 2nd in global rating of RTI laws, Bangladesh ranks 15th, Nepal occupies 20th position while Pakistan ranks 76th among 90 countries having RTI laws.


Compared to FOI Ordinance 2002, KP’s RTI Ordinance 2013 is a giant step ahead. The former Ordinance has a limited scope, charges Rs50 for each FOI request, requires a reason for wanting information and a signed affidavit that it will not be used for any other purpose, allows 21 days to respond to FOI requests and has no provision for urgent requests. It has vague, open and extensive exemptions; no provision for a harm test; no protection for whistleblowers; designates the Ombudsman - with only recommendatory powers - to hear complaints; and weaker sanctions for wrongdoers, according a brief of World Bank’s consultant.


Speedy and free provision of information: An applicant does not have to deposit any fee for submitting an information request. One can submit a hand-written application or send email queries to the head of concerned department (later to the Information Officer once designated). Information officers must help citizens in making requests without inquiring about the reason for requesting information. The concerned department is bound to provide information within ten working days.


For matters of life and liberty, information must be provided within two working days.Punishment for officers denying/destroying requested information: Those deliberately refusing to disclose information, or destroying information subject to an RTI request, can be punished with a fine of up to Rs50,000; a prison sentence of up to two years, or both.

سالوں میں بہت مثبت اثر پڑے گا اور صوبہ بہت ترقی کرے گا . اس تبدیلی کے نتیجے میں دوسرے صوبوں پر بہت پریشر پڑے گا . مگر آفریں ھے پاکستانی میڈیا پر جس کان پر کوئی جوں بھی نہیں رینگی . صوبے کے وزیروں نے اپنی ٦ ماہ کی کارگردی کو ایک پریس کانفرنس میں پیش کیا مگر نیشنل میڈیا نے اسکا ذکر تک نہ کیا. جب تنقید کرنا ھوتا ہے تو تمام قوالی شورو کر دیتیں ھیں مگر تبدیلی کا ذکر کرتے سب کو موت پڑتی ھے . انگلش اخبارات کی تعریف کرنا ھو گی جس نے بہت حد تک صوبے میں ہونے والی تبدلیوں کو رپورٹ کیا

KP assembly annual report.cdr - FAFEN


Overall 15 of 25 bills on the agenda were passed during the year (only one of which was a private member's bill).
Seven adjournment motions were raised to draw attention to matters of urgent public importance, of which three were taken up, and 47 out of 61 CANs on issues such as education, health, tribal affairs and local government were also taken up.
Members submitted 197 questions to conduct the executive's oversight – all of these were starred questions requiring oral answers from the relevant ministers.
A total of 123 of these questions were answered by the ministers. Bringing relevant agenda on the floor of house that is reflective of public and provincial needs, and effective disposal of the same is only possible through extended involvement and commitment of the legislators. This can be measured by such indicators as the number of times the assembly met during the year, duration of the sittings, and the attendance and participation of key figures such as the chief minister, leader of the opposition, and speaker, parliamentary leaders as well as other members. Perhaps another reason for the lack of any landmark legislation or other business in the house is the absence of the chief minister from 39 of the 41 sittings and the leader of the opposition from 23, who might have led the proceedings towards issues of greater significance, being the respective heads of the ruling ANP and the opposition MMAP. Attendance of other parliamentary leaders was also low, with the most number of sittings (21) attended by the PML leader, followed by 20 by the PPPS leader, 16 by the PPPP leader, and five by the PMLN leader.
More than half (56%) of the session time was presided over by the speaker, and 39% by the deputy speaker. On average, each of the 41 sittings was an hour and 20 minutes long, and delayed by 41 minutes.
