August 21; PILDAT has welcomed the announcement by the Federal Minister of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage that the new draft law on Right to Information (RTI) will be presented for official approval in the upcoming meeting of the Federal Cabinet.

This is the same version of the Bill which was lauded earlier for earning highest score in the world on Canada-based Centre for Law and Democracy�s Global RTI Rating 2015.

PILDAT has expressed hope that following the approval by the Cabinet, the law would be swiftly tabled in Parliament for debate and passage.
