The Head of Legal, Governance, Regulatory, and Research at the Right to Information (RTI) Commission, Stephen Owusu, has disclosed that the Commission is grappling with staffing and financial challenges.
Speaking with TV during the launch of its fifth anniversary on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, he stated that current staff numbers fall far short of what is required to operate effectively across all regions. "We are required to register our presence in all the regions.
As we speak, we were given clearance for 120 staff members, but the Public Services Commission, I remember, recommended 360.
So the 120 falls far short of the staff strength required," he noted.
