The leader of the Alliance for Restoration Rights, William Kofi Yirenkyi, has accused the National Signals Bureau (NSB) of flouting directives issued by the Right to Information (RTI) Commission regarding the release of documents linked to two separate criminal incidents.
In an exclusive interview with Homebase TV journalist Beauty Etornam Amedzotsi on April 21, 2025, Yirenkyi stated that the National Signals Bureau has failed to comply with a clear directive from the Commission, which required them to release video footage to him within seven days of receiving a letter from the Commission. "This is a blatant disregard for the Right to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989) and a dangerous attack on transparency, accountability, and the rule of law in Ghana. "When institutions funded by taxpayers defy oversight bodies, democracy is under threat. "The law must be upheld," he said.
The Right to Information (RTI) Commission on April 9, 2025, directed the National Signals Bureau to formally release the said information requested by William Kofi Yirenkyi, following a review application filed against the Bureau's initial refusal to provide the data.
In a letter dated March 26, 2025, and referenced NSB/G.O/V.III/25/033, the NSB responded to Yirenkyi's application.
