A civil society organization advocating for transparency and accountability, Perfect Vision Initiative, (PVI) has accused the Right to Information (RTI) Commission of failing in its duty to enforce the Right to Information Act 989.
In a statement on March 12, 2025, PVI's Founder and Executive Director, William Kofi Yirenkyi, demanded a final determination on an information request that has remained unresolved for a year.
According to Yirenkyi, the Ghana Police Service has deliberately refused to disclose requested information, despite legal obligations.
He criticized the RTI Commission for failing to hold the police accountable, stating, "The Commission seems to operate as little more than a facade, creating the illusion of enforcing the right of access to information rather than actively promoting transparency and accountability." The dispute stems from an ongoing case involving the Ghana Police Service, which PVI alleges has ignored multiple directives to release information.
