In an apparent move towards transparency, the Ministry of Information launched a website where visitors can post opinions and suggestions for a long-awaited freedom of information law, though an observer yesterday cautioned the suggestions will need to be heeded for the initiative to be judged a success.

The website which went live yesterday, www.a2i.info.gov.kh, made in conjunction with UNESCO with support from the Swedish government, features drafts of the upcoming public information law with comment sections where “visitors can write comments or requests for each article”, according to MoI spokesman Ouk Kimseng. The law, which was first proposed over 10 years ago, is expected to be fully drafted by 2018, he said.

According to UNESCO communication specialist Jamie Lee, the site is part of a three-year drafting process between UNESCO, the MoI and Sweden. The collaborative group, known as the A2I Technical Working Group, convenes with public and private organisations monthly to discuss the law, she said.
