S2 #5: Access to Information – Lessons from the Covid era.
Update: 2021-10-06
Description
Access to information (ATI) is a topical issue. We’ve just celebrated the International Day for Universal Access to Information, and there’s finally an ATI Bill before Parliament years after the Action Namibia Coalition and others started work on the project with the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) in 2016. So, there’s light at the end of the tunnel as it is set to become law. The Covid pandemic however has given even more impetus to the necessity of such access on the part of both citizens and journalists alike, given the predominance of disinformation around Covid measures in general and vaccines in particular. #FreeSpeak host Gwen Lister chats with Frederico Links, the chairperson of the Coalition, about the urgency of an ATI law in the prevailing circumstances.
