The ATI Network has particular interest in the regulator’s ability to make recommendations for the “development, improvement, modernisation, reform or amendment” of Paia (or indeed, any law concerning access to information).
This is because two of our members – the South African National Editors’ Forum (Sanef) and Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) – have conducted research and consulted with lawyers in order to develop a draft Paia Amendment Bill.
