Right To Information

Right of Access to Information

At ICTA, we believe in transparency and accountability, which is why we fully support the Right to Information (RTI) Act, No: 12 of 2016. Our aim is to provide you with easy access to the information you need, and to ensure that your rights are protected every step of the way.

How to Request Information

To request information from ICTA, you can simply fill out the Information request applicaton form (Form RTI 01), or submit a written request to our Information Officer. You can also make a request in person by speaking directly with our Information Officer. We're here to help you get the information you need.

Appealing to the Designated Officer

If you're ever denied access to information, or if you believe that the information you received was incomplete, misleading, or false, you have the right to appeal to the Designated Officer. By filling out an appeal Form RTI 10 within fourteen days of the incident, you can ensure that your voice is heard, and your rights are protected. Don't let anything stand in the way of your right to access information.
