Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre has pledged to enact an Information Bill that aligns with the African Union (AU) Model Law and Somalia’s Provisional Constitution.
This initiative aims to provide citizens with easier access to critical information, which is essential for empowering both their daily lives and engagement with governance.
The proposed law is expected to enhance transparency, accountability, and public participation, reinforcing democratic values by ensuring that government information is readily available to the public.
This step is part of the broader efforts to strengthen the legal framework around the right to information in Somalia.
It will ensure that citizens can access and use information to make informed decisions and hold public institutions accountable.
