By Nhau Mangirazi A former cabinet minister has called for the ‘reorientation’ of public officials to avail information to citizens as they have right to access information without hindrance. Speaking during a belated World Press Freedom Day in Chinhoyi Webster Shamu, a former minister of information and Chegutu West Member of Parliament said citizens have right to information. He was responding after Peter Liwanda, chairman of Chinhoyi Residents Trust asked procedures to be taken if public is denied access to information from council. Liwanda said, ‘‘Chinhoyi Residents Trust submitted a request to municipality to avail us with information on wetlands in the town. We have been so patient unlike other resident’s organizations that took council to court so that they can get that information. Our appeal now is that as the ministry is making media reforms, let it be spelt that citizens have right to public information. Local authorities are not taking us on right to access information,’’
