• The  Public  Officer  Liability  Bill   • Revising  the  Extradition  Bill  to  make  it  more  responsive   • Review  the  Financial  Administrative  Act  to  enable  special  courts  to  be  set  up   • The  Freedom  of  Information  Bill  is  yet  to  be  passed.     Civil   Society   organizations   have   over   the   year   organized   various   programmes   to   advocate   for   the   passage   of   the   law.   The   Coalition   of   the   Right   to   Information,   a   CSO   body   formed   to   advocate  for  the  passage  of  the  law  has  expressed  some  reservations  about  the  current  state  of   the  bill.  There  is  the  concern  over  the  time  limit  within  which  information  can  be  disclosed  as   unduly  long.  This  should  be  reduced  to  14  days  and  not  21  days.  The  failure  of  the  bill  to  see  the   chieftaincy  institution  as  a  public  institution,  the  omission  of  private  bodies  in  the  main  body  of   the   bill   and   the   exemption   provisions   are   being   contested   by   CSOs.   Meanwhile   the   Public   Records   and   Archives   Administrative   Department   (PRAAD)   has   also   stepped   up   its   process   of   preparing  the  MDA’s  and  MMDA’s  on  how  to  keep  records  and  manage  information.     3.19.2   Asset  Declaration  regulations   The   implementation   of   the   law   over   the   past   years   has   indicated   that   the   law   in   its   present   form  would  not  achieve  the  desired  results  of  making  public  servants  accountable.  This  is  due   to   the   process   of   verification   of   the   contents   of   declaration.   In   the   absence   of   public   disclosure   the   process   smacks   of   lack   of   transparency,   which   is   further   complicated   by   the   limited   coverage   of   the   law   and   sanctions   in   the   event   of   violation.   In   addition   the   present   form   of   the   law  does  not  fully  comply  with  the  minimum  standards  prescribed  in  the  UN  Convention  against   Corruption  and  the  African  Union  Convention  against  Corruption  which  Ghana  has  ratified.     In  correcting  this  anomaly  a  number  of  Civil  Society  Organizations,  the  Commission  on  Human   Rights   and   Administrative   Justice,   the   Public   Accounts   Committee   of   Parliament,   the   Auditor   General’s  Department  have  made  inputs  into  the  proposed  amendment  of  the  Act  to  comply   with   international   standards   and   make   it   more   accountable   and   transparent   for   effective   implementation.   48
