Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 18 January 2023, 4:16 PM)Will a PIO be penalized if the senior officer verbally orders him not to release information to the requestor? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Answer: No. All officers must assist PIOs to process applications and provide information if requested by the PIO. All such officers will be considered to be PIOs for the purpose of contravention of this Act. If a PIO is not given information by a senior when he requests their assistance, accordingly it is the senior, who will be penalized and not the PIO. To protect against a penalty, it is advisable that PIOs make this in writing. | ||||
