The CSOs made this known when a delegation from the group led by the Executive Director of the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development, (CDD-Ghana), Prof. Emmanuel Gyimah-Boadi paid a courtesy call on the President at the Flagstaff House.

He expressed the hope that the government will ensure the passage of the Right to Information Bill to aid the fight against corruption.

"We partly understand why it couldn’t be passed but we also take your campaign promise [to pass it] to heart," he added.
