Commissioner Pansy Tlakula has called on The Gambia government to join nations that have adopted the African Commission’s Access to Information Model Law which guarantees citizens absolute access to information.

“I am hoping that The Gambia will join others in adopting the Free Access to Information Act which has so far been adopted by only 16 countries across the African continent,” said Tlakula, Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information in Africa.
