It also intends to identify the kind of information that citizens want to access. This article found that the information provided by the government is incomplete, inaccurate, untimely and inaccessible.The finding emphasizes that government failed to disseminate information on policy intentions.The study stressed that information on budgeting is more favorite by respondents.
