CORRUPTION   5.28   Expedite  Action  on  the  Whistle  Blower  and  Freedom  of  Information  Bills   The   Whistleblower   Bill   has   been   passed   into   an   Act   of   Parliament   (Act   720).   The   Bill   was   gazetted  on  October  20th,  2006  and  under  the  act,  individuals  can,  without  fear  or  retribution,   report  corrupt  and  illegal  conduct  in  the  country.   The   Freedom   of   Information   Bill   is   however   yet   to   be   passed   into   an   Act   of   Parliament.   The   delay   is   due   to   a   lack   of   adequate   record   keeping   in   the   MDAs   and   the   focus   is   now   on   providing  adequate  record  keeping  management  for  the  MDAs.     INVESTIGATIVE  JOURNALISM   5.29   Resourcing  and  Training  of  Journalists  in  Financial  Journalism   The   Institute   of   Financial   and   Economic   Journalists   (IFEJ)   is   an   independent   private   sector   led   institution   which   receives   funding   support   from   donor   agencies   such   as   Friedrich   Erbert   Foundation,   the   International   Finance   Corporation   (IFC)/Good   Morning   Africa   and   corporate   bodies  such  as  Barclays  Bank  and  Unilever  Ghana  limited.   IFEJ  notes  that  there  is  not  a  single  educational  institution  primarily  setup  to  train  students  in   financial   and   economic   journalism   and   also   serve   as   the   hub   of   financial   research;   for   IFEJ   itself   lacks  the  resources  to  undertake  the  training.   PEF   with   the   support   of   the   Government   of   Japan   and   the   United   Nations   Development   Programme  (UNDP)  is  undertaking  a  project  that  will  train  about  forty  students  and  journalists   in  financial  journalism.         125
