By Amos HarrisIn a sustained effort to strengthen transparency and accountability across public institutions, the Independent Information Commission (IIC) has conducted high-level Freedom of Information (FOI) compliance training at the Ministry of Labor. The engagement focused primarily on strengthening institutional systems, enhancing compliance performance, and ensuring that public entities effectively meet their legal obligations under the FOI framework. The training provided detailed guidance on the statutory responsibilities of public institutions, such as the designation of Public Information Officers and the establishment of Internal Information Request Review Bodies. The IIC reaffirmed its commitment to supporting all government institutions, including the Ministry of Labor, in building robust compliance systems. Minister Kruah expressed his appreciation to the IIC for the timely training, noting that it has significantly enhanced the Ministry’s understanding of FOI compliance and will contribute to improved service delivery and institutional transparency.
