Authorities must facilitate our right to know
I completely agree with Dr. Shamsul Bari's article titled "Right to know, not need to know" on October 17, 2016. I would like to add that while we have the right to information, it is a complex matter. A lot of information is often confined within offices due to corrupt workers.
The government should take proper steps to bring all public offices under e-governance system. Not only would it ensure transparency, but also help reduce the possibility of corruption. Our government has created many websites for our welfare, but more than seventy percent of citizens unfortunately do not know about them due to lack of proper publicity or awareness.
Awareness of correct news and e-governance systems will ensure the efficient dispatch of information we have been demanding.
