See, Question and Participate in Your Government
GREEN WHITE GO MANIFESTO — 2026.10.01 · CANONICAL THREE-SENTENCE UNIT
Citizens should have meaningful access to public information subject to lawful narrow protections, with government proactively publishing reusable information and providing lawful routes for petitions, hearings, consultation and participation outside elections.
Citizens may also trigger independent scrutiny or audit under defined rules, but citizens trigger scrutiny; they do not become the auditor, while information-request procedures, open-data standards, audit-trigger thresholds, complaint screening, petition mechanics and response rules belong in legislation and the Civic Participation Policy Paper.
The purpose is to give citizens practical ways to question and influence public institutions while preserving the independence and professional responsibility of auditors, investigators and other oversight bodies.

Freedom of Information
Last verified: 27 September 2026
The ordinary Freedom of Information baseline is access or a reasoned refusal within seven days, subject to lawful extensions, exemptions, severability and judicial review. The project also authenticated the Supreme Court's 11 April 2025 decision in Osakwe & 8 Others v EDOSACA, applying federal public-records legislation to State public records.
Evidence and limits
The rights and duties proposed here must be distinguished from present law and from the detailed safeguards required for implementation.
The proposal remains distinct from current law and from evidence for individual components.
Evidence notes for this pillarRelated Hard Questions
No. Continuous audit and risk analysis are intended to identify possible failure early. They do not replace investigation, fair process or judicial safeguards. Open contracting follows the chain from promise and award to payment and delivery, subject to protected information. Professional audit and lawful enforcement remain different responsibilities.
No. Credible evidence of misuse of public accounts can trigger independent scrutiny and published findings under the proposed system. Citizens trigger the audit; they do not become the auditors. Malicious or repetitive complaints must be screened, legitimate confidentiality protected, and audit and enforcement left with their designated institutions.
IMPLEMENTATION DETAIL
Detailed trigger procedures require design. FOI and open-data access remain subject to lawful privacy, security and protected-record limits.
