14. PUBLIC INFORMATION AND ACCESS
TO GOVERNMENT INFORMATION
There is no legislation requiring the state to reveal information,
nor any legal or judicial mechanism empowering journalists to force
the state to provide information.
Although the constitutional clause that permits citizens to
petition the government in Article 30 is a means of obtaining a
reply to their petitions from officials, this provision does not
guarantee the public?s access to information.
