With the passage of
time majority of the states have changed their political system from other
kinds to democratic system, because democracy is the only political system
which cares for the public opinion. In democracy, the people have right to
vote, through which they elect their choice of representatives directly or
indirectly. It is the only system for which the term good governance is being used.
The term good governance can be used for the government which protects the
rights of the people and provide them equal opportunities, care for public opinion,
whose policies are clear and crystal before the common peoples and where no
underhand game is being played. That’s why it is known as a government which is
participatory, accountable and transparent, where all the citizens are equal
before the law. With the passage of time the laws are made to make the
government more accountable and its policies transparent, for this purpose
majority of the states have incorporated the right to information in their
constitution. Through this right the people can have access to public related
information, which enable the peoples to keep an eye on government, in result
the corruption can be decreased and it will create more accountable government.
Moreover, it will create hindrances in the way of abuse of power and
corruption. Pakistan is a democratic state and there is a separate chapter of
fundamental rights in the constitution of Pakistan, in April 2010 through
eighteenth amendment article 19-A was incorporated in the 1973 constitution of
Pakistan regarding right to information aiming to create more accountable,
transparent and participatory system. This research paper is an attempt to analyze
that how right to information can be a step towards good governance in
Pakistan.
