After a flurry of activity in 2005, Bermuda’s long-promised “public access to information” (PATI) law disappeared down the rabbit hole.
In the interim, the Cayman Islands have been busy. They proposed a draft, solicited input from the community and the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, and passed an amended Act late this summer. They have now published their implementation plan which will roll out the freedom of infomation practices across their Government over the next year.
It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you actually have a plan. Freedom of information is just another broken promise in the New Bermuda.
