The two-day international conference on Right to Information to commemorate the International Day on Right to Information, commenced in Colombo under the auspices of President Maithripala Sirisena on Wednesday.
Speaking at the event, the President noted that we should all look into our concsience with regard how much freedom has been granted, and should be granted, to the free media and that creating the space for media freedom is the responsibility of the politicians: and regulating it is the responsibility of state officials.
The president went on to note that the state and private media should consider their responsibilities and execute them in an honest manner because that’s what the people of this country expect – and this is what the government expects.
