We will introduce Right to Information Bill - Govt.

(June 23, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Government will shortly introduce a Right to Information Bill to Parliament, Acting Cabinet Spokesman Anura Priyadharshana Yapa said today.

The Minster’s assurances come less than two days after the Government defeated a move by UNP MP Karu Jayasuriya to introduce a similar Bill in the Legislature.

Minister Yapa said the government defeated that Bill because the UNP MP had gone back on a decision made at the Party Leaders' meeting not to present the Bill on Tuesday.

He said the government Bill being drafted would address a wide range of issues.
