Transparency Promised, Documents Still Delayed

News Five is keeping a close eye on government transparency and tonight, we have an update. We’ve received an official acknowledgment from the Ministry of Public Service in response to our Freedom of Information request, sent on July seventh. The letter, dated July eighth, confirms they’ve received our inquiry about government rental expenses. But while that’s a step forward, the clock is still ticking as we await the actual documents. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for a formal response from the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding our request for details on the Aaron Guzman advisory contract. Minister Kareem Musa did confirm during an interview that he’s seen the request, but so far, no official word from his ministry.

“Yes our ministry received it last week and those documents will be provided this week I am told.”
