a peak and also chris freedom in jeopardy. a policy an industry championed. and a disputed election result in one of the balls poor stable states the opposition cries fall off the commerce president as i look at some money landslide reelection. i'm christine window while come to africa i'm glad your chin didn't know make his in gonna have pasta bill that will allow more transparency and accountability in public affairs the rice information bill has been welcomed by journalists in the country who say the knoll will make their work easy especially when it comes to accessing government data but even before the bill was passed it's worth noting that report says without borders gave gone the best ranking. full press freedoms of

any african country ranked globally got a comes in twenty third and that's out of one hundred seventy eight in the media watched twenty eight list now that close the west african nation well ahead of britain which comes in fortieth and the united states is even further down the rankings placed at forty six. people in ghana have been waiting for this moment for decades ghana's parliament has finally passed the right to information act the first draft introduced in one thousand nine hundred nine. journalists have followed the long debate closely they sing the new law can now finally change the social fabric of the vest african country. it's a major game changer for how i said media war practice and also for the people who does build this really for the ability to access information and know what's

happening with how the state is being run. it's been a long wait and so the feeling of how this quite unmixed happy that has been passed but some of that is taken out of this for us to get to this point and this even longer to wait the law won't be fully implemented for the least another year enormous education efforts are also needed for officials the general public and the press. to have to do their own proper. if there's an investigation get there would have visitors and give it necessary information that they need to do good journalism but for the general citizen this is a thing that allows you to get information students etc to get information to push their work a bit. for instance for anyone working on corruption cases the law would be key in holding put existence and public officials accountable for their actions now gunna civil society must ensure these new phones fries on paper put into practice.

for more on this we can talk now and see gideon off also p.s.f. a policy and list also member off the investigative platform. and off the media coalition on the right information which campaigned for the new dole get involved i'm so d.w. africa this is a huge achievement for you what's changed for the people of gaza. for us it is a very huge actually remains and then we are so happy because what it means for us is that information and knowledge which. we know is this and then it's we need to dip in transparency and then citizens by species in the governance process. ok gideon so we know that god is already on the top of the list when it comes to press freedoms is this really going to improve things for the press is it is really going to improve things for the press because if the media is to police traditional rule for you for me educating them in that scene then gets an access to information and

share in it it's quite key that would be a do and then shipping governance in ghana right gideon got it now joins a number of countries on the continent that have all that already have the right information access. why has it taken this wrong the right to information bill has taken long because there has not been. political will from the government has been lacking and then number two what happened was that m. people people in government of the view government should have a peace of mind to be to be administration and government and then as a model for the shooting be anything like a right to information which would be. governance process by the those who are also of the school of thought so it has mainly been the lack of political will and commitments by such as you governments in ensuring that this bill is passed into law that has been the most thing but we got that we have no desire all right

standard i get it i want this chief justice in some of the reaction that's come through to this this is abraham al has signed a political correspondent for g h one t.v. in fact information in the past has always been treated as a privilege but saw. the media on one hand. who have been for. and i'm talking about on the other hand. information is the press personal property and making a difficult for us to wake so what the passage or galaxy are built we feel very hopeful that will be a friend of the past now if you request for any information you have been denied you have to. get in you can resort to the course of lol do you think that this means will see more that he case. will this change officials and make them more willing to handle the information. the two of them have i believe that it is not going to result in more litigation because of the

bill which has now been i sent it and we have now been given approval by parliament he had to be. approved by the presidents to be made to do so proceeding so they fessed up is that if you want information you contact the units in charge to release that information for you if that feels you go to the second step whereby you talk to the head of departments or the spotify software that's you need to provide you with the information that you want that feels now on the bill which is soon going to be established as their right to information commission who becomes the on this point of call in all that's to provide you with whatever information that you want and it is only when that feels that you have to resort to the courts so i believe that given the g.'s. i believe that a bill would be less course it's a given because because because i wouldn't agree to a three tier system i believe that it will be resolved. points of the take get it

out when she was this really quickly they've been some worrying developments and got that tax on journalists this is one of the countries we know is a beacon for press freedom is that putting that refutation at risk. i can see yes and no yes because if. this is not. the same through governments that's not to look at this issue and also in that of course it will repeat this in other words but of course it's something small we have about four hundred media organizations. online and they're out and about to do in the way it's also thought well we've seen commitment by his government if we see a movement by the minister of syria in billion with this issue so we have so much assure that this issue will be dealt with all right gideon off also paisa media coalition on the rights to information thank you thanks to call models now where incumbent presidents as money has been reelected by and landslide that is if you

believe the results of a shift by the electoral commission the main opposition party obviously to us they say that sunday's poll amounts to a coup d'etat a modest one of the bulls poorest and most unstable states the president's campaign called the opposition's allegations quote pathetic and accuse them of quote wanting to create disorder that's off to clashes with the police in the kept capital model any earlier this week. emotions are running high for two days the opposition has been out on the streets accusing the incumbent to stealing the election. police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the demonstrations in the capital twelve people were injured. the government says that the results are crystal clear the sitting president is reelected turn of the five years. as early as two money

ninety six thousand six hundred thirty five votes that is to say sixty point seven seven percent. this outright win in the first round has caused consternation on the other side the main opposition refuses to accept the result. we consider that there was no election this sunday this was instead a coup set up by as elite as some money and his team. and the army had to do with this coup because we saw soldiers carrying ballot boxes in several polling stations such as one john and marlene. serious allegations which are dividing the capital moroni. supporters of the president say the result is a fair victory for their man. it's a win for democracy. those who knew democracy needs to be respected one today. those who didn't want to mock received showed it. but election observers from

regional bodies such as the african union were also critical saying the electoral process was full of irregularities the disputed election in the poor and unstable island nation isn't going to ease the tension here ok so there's a giant tuna sandwich behind me and you're wondering why well one of our reports says was recently in senegal and she stumbled upon a street kitchen in the coastal town full that's known for you guessed it tastiness and it just. this tiny food stall in perth is a hit with the locals and. c.c. of course are a group i don't think i'm going here to chat with our friends this is a very cool place i like it a lot so that was in part to reduce the focus to just send home but there's a twist still alone fun come are a special spice mix and there's one option the custom is about all that but also
