Answer:

Section 4 is designed to ensure that public authorities give certain information which is important to the public voluntarily at every level of operation. If implemented properly, Section 4 will reduce the workload of officials and public authorities because it will mean that information which is regularly needed by the public can be accessed by them without the need for a specific request.
