Says not only politicians, but bureaucrats now have an understanding of all decisions they make
Despite the existence of RTI, Minister says journalists proliferating false information

Finance and Mass Media Minister Mangala Samaraweera yesterday insisted that the environment has been made in the country for a clean and transparent administration through the implementation of the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

Addressing the symposium on RTI, the Minister pointed out that not only politicians, but all bureaucrats have an understanding of the transparency of the decisions they make.

Through the implementation of the RTI Act, he said it has enabled the mass media to validate their facts and findings under the Act before announcing it to the public.

However, Samaraweera said it was regrettable that many journalists are proliferating false information despite the existence of the RTI Act.
