Lack of access to information is a major challenge for Afghan journalists
The Ministry of Information and Culture says it has drafted the law on access to information, but it first needs to be ratified by the supreme leader
A number of journalists have raised concerns about the lack of access to information and say that information is not provided in a timely manner.
Journalists have called on the Islamic Emirate to ratify and enforce the law of access to information so that they can convey information to the people as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Information and Culture says it has drafted the law on access to information, but it needs to be ratified by the supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate.
But Naeemul Haq Haqqani, head of the government media center (GMIC), says that the Islamic Emirate has always tried to make information available to journalists, and for this purpose, the media center has launched a program to explain the achievements of government ministries.
It has been three years since the Islamic Emirate regained control of the country, but no specific law regarding access to information has yet been issued.
