| dc.description.abstract | This press release is on Verité Research's study on compliance with the Right to Information Act in Sri Lanka reveals that over 70% of public authorities disclose less than 40% of required information online. Ministries of Agriculture and Public Administration ranked highest, while the Offices of the President and Prime Minister scored among the least compliant. Language bias is evident, with English dominating online disclosures, and Sinhala and Tamil lagging behind. Despite a modest increase in the Government Openness Index from 25% in 2017 to 33% in 2022, transparency levels remain low. | en_US |
