The Right to Information (RTI) Commission has imposed a total of GH¢220,000 in fines on four public institutions, including the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), for failing to comply with the Right to Information Act, 2019.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Commission on February 5, 2026.

"Following investigations, hearings, and determinations made in accordance with Act 989, the Commission has imposed administrative penalties amounting to two hundred and twenty thousand Ghana cedis (GH¢220,000) on four (4) public institutions for failure to comply with their statutory obligations under the Act," it noted.

The Commission further noted that continued non-compliance will attract further enforcement action.
