Dubai, December 30: Indians in the UAE have been asked to exercise Right to Information (RTI) to address issues back home, says a report in Emirates 24/7.
Musthafa Zafeer O V, a senior lawyer and Managing Partner of Musthafa and Almana, has said that “NRIs can avail of the RTI Act to seek answers with regard to skewed charges by government departments, hospitals, university admissions and other issues in their home country.” Speaking during Indo-UAE legal lectures, Asaf Ali, Director-General of Prosecution and State Public Prosecutor of the Kerala High Court was quoted as saying: “There are many challenges that NRIs face when they apply for building permits and loans. Things may be inordinately delayed.” He added: “NRIs can seek justice by asking questions under the RTI Act. But the number of NRIs who file RTI applications is still small.”
