    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Let me help in the definition of “private body”, which is already in the body of the Bill. First of all, the definition comes from Article 35 of the Constitution. It is the right of every citizen to receive information from public authorities, but where fundamental rights are concerned, he can get information from a private body, according to Article 35 of the Constitution. The private body defined here is the one that receives public resources and benefits, utilises public funds, engages in public functions, provides public services, and it has exclusive contracts to exploit natural resources. It is also in possession of information which is of significant public interest in its relation to protection of human rights. There are private bodies which are concerned with some of these matters. In fact, in this era, we have a lot of Government resources which are being used by private bodies. In that instance, then the private body has to comply with this Act."
