enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International covenant on Civil and Political Rights. RTI reflects the principle that all information held by governments and other public institutions is public information and should only be withheld
from the public for legitimate reasons within the public interest. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

be designing appropriate tools and information platforms to facilitate online requests and/or receipt of information and data. Therefore, your assistance in taking this survey would be greatly appreciated. Your participation also takes you into a draw where
we will be giving away 3 smartphones. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
