A total of 110 Acts had been found to be contradicting with the Right to Information Act when the RTI was implemented, Government Information Department's Director General Ranga Kalansooriya said today.

He said the identified 110 Acts should have to be amended to some extend to be compatible with the RTI Act.

“Following the instructions of the Minister Rajitha Senaratne, we conducted an investigation regarding the RTI and we have identified 110 such Acts,” he said.

The intention of the people seems to have increased over the RTI Act and they are getting used to use their right,” Mass Media Minister Gayantha Karunathilaka said speaking at the Cabinet briefing.

He said the RTI Act was fully operative from February 3rd enabling people to obtain any information from the Government.

The Minister had formed a special unit to identify and sort out many problems that had cropped up while implementing the RTI, he said. (Chaturanga Pradeep)

    මේක මහා විහිළුවක්. ආණ්ඩුව මෙතෙක් අරම්බකරන ලද හෝ ජෝජනාකරන ලද , හා ක්‍රියාවට නැංවූ අලුත් හැම ව්‍යාපෘතියකම ,හැම නීතියක්ම, හැම act එකක්ම අඩුපාඩු රාශියක්ම ඇති නිසා නැවත සංශෝදනයන් කිරීමට අවශ්‍ය උනා. මේ සැම එකක්ම අවුල් සහගතයි. උගතුන් සහ නුගතුන් රැසක් වටකරගෙන මේවා හදල ප්‍රකාශයට පත් කරනවා මිස එවැන්නක් ක්‍රියාත්මක කිරීමේදී ඇතිවන ප්‍රායෝගික ගැටළු ගැන අවබෝධයක් ඔවුන්ට නැහැ.ඊට අමතරව ඇමතිලා විසින් එකම කරුණ ගැන පරස්පර අදහස් දක්වා සිටීමද හාස්‍යයට කරුණක්. ලජ්ජා නැති ආණ්ඩුවක්.
