Vincent Ekow Assafuah, Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, has officially petitioned the Right to Information Commission (RTIC) over the failure of the Office of the Attorney-General and Ministry of Justice to respond to his request for critical legal documents.
In a letter dated March 24, 2025, Assafuah expressed frustration over the Ministry's non-compliance with the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2019 (Act 989).
He stated that he had initially submitted an RTI request on February 12, 2025, seeking access to memos, letters, and internal correspondence from the Prosecution Department to the former Attorney-General regarding the discontinuation of certain legal cases.
However, after receiving no response within the 14-day statutory period, Assafuah filed a formal internal review request on March 3, 2025, in accordance with Section 31 of Act 989.
