Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Sierra Leone\u2019s Information Minister, Chernor Bah, outlined several key commitments during his keynote address at the Capacity Building workshop on Records Management, which was convened by the Rights to Access Information Commission.<\/p>\n

These commitments are set to shape the nation\u2019s approach to information accessibility and records management.<\/p>\n

Bah began by expressing his dedication to building upon the impressive work of his predecessor. His foremost commitment is to advance President Bio\u2019s vision for a society that upholds the principles of openness and free access to information as an essential right for citizens.<\/p>\n

One pivotal step in achieving this vision is the repeal of the outdated 1965 Public Archives law. In its place, the government aims to introduce a modern, 21st-century legislation that aligns with President Bio\u2019s values and aspirations.Furthermore, Bah emphasized the importance of establishing a modern and progressive records management policy, with the goal of bolstering the records management infrastructure throughout the government. This initiative aims to streamline the management of information and records, ensuring they are readily accessible and efficient.<\/p>\n

Collaboration is also at the heart of these commitments. The Information Minister expressed his intent to work closely with partners within the information and records sector, as well as with parliament and other allies. Together, they plan to drive the transformation of Sierra Leone\u2019s records management systems, with an emphasis on digitization and modernization. The ultimate goal is to increase public access to information and records.<\/p>\n

In his closing remarks, Minister Chernor Bah underscored the moral imperative of these changes, stating, \u201cIt is the right thing to do, and we will deliver.\u201d These commitments mark a significant stride toward enhancing transparency and accessibility of information, aligning Sierra Leone with contemporary standards and values.<\/p>\n
