In paragraph 4 of the request, it further stated that: “Sequel upon these, we feel that the transparency, accountability and credibility which this administration represents need to do more in giving adequate information to the civil society both locally and internationally. With the intention to building a positive image of the nation as far as Sports is concerned”.

The FOI Act request also reminded the Sports Ministry to send certified true copies of the breakdown on how the said sum was spent within 7 days of receipt of the correspondence as stipulated by the FOI Act.
