Charities are not covered but there is a list of charities that receive government financing. See the annual estimates book.

Just shows that you need to have sharper questions.

Think about what you got back and then ask more precise questions.

No longer can public authorities operate behind a cloak of secrecy with impunity. The only reason for public authorities to not embrace PATI is because they are not operating within the law, policies and with transparency. I am glad to see that decisions rendered by the Information Commissioner are now being displayed on the ICO website.

For example – where is the transparency in our charitable sector? What is the communities right to know about funding and donations? Salaries and hiring practices? How transparent is the exercising of power and control
within this economic engine?

How is our charitable institutions modeling the many issues raised recently in the US about the Clinton and Trump Foundations? How do we protect ourselves from the back door influence of secret funding under the false optics of serving the greater good?

What right does the Bermuda public have to know around the allocations of secret donated funds for projects such as Preserve Marriage, Political Party donations and other well funded initiatives that seek to influence our laws and Government policy?

The OBA should rename it.

(PATSI)…….Public Access to Some Information.

Don’t kid yourself folks each Ministry doesn’t release all the information/answers you want. A person after receiving the information back is left with more question then answers.

The Department is a waste. Been there done that.
