    "content": "In terms of the history of this law, there was a study done as early as the year 2000. This study indicated that one of the gaps we had in our governance and democracy system was lack of access to information. Information is the oxygen of democracy. You cannot have a regime or a good government system without information. If fact, Judge Daimon has decreed that democracies die behind closed doors. Governments must open themselves to scrutiny. Access to information is the engine of any democracy and ours is no exception. So, in the year 2000 that study showed that we had a serious gap on access to information in our country."
