Statement of the FOI Youth Initiative

On the constant delays against the Freedom of Information Bill

We in the FOI Youth Initiative (FYI) are extremely dismayed by the failure of our elected Representatives to fulfill their responsibility to attend the sessions of the House. Electoral concerns should never get in the way of their duty to pass relevant legislation like the Freedom of Information Bill. When students skip classes, we miss out on the opportunity to learn. However, when legislators skip sessions, they shirk on their mandate to serve. No to further delays! Pass FOI now!
