The bill on access to public information remains blocked at Tsimbazaza. Submitted on May 28, the text has yet to find its place on the extraordinary session agenda of Parliament. A paradoxical situation for a regime that places "refoundation" and open governance at the heart of its discourse. Transparency will have to wait. At least, that is what the fate of bill no. 017/2025 on access to public information suggests. While deputies have been in extraordinary session since Tuesday, August 25, this text, already submitted to the National Assembly, still does not figure among parliamentary priorities. The bill was supposed to reach a decisive stage. Submitted on May 28, it aims to enshrine citizens' right to access information held by public institutions and, consequently, strengthen administrative transparency. An essential tool in any democracy that claims to bring the State closer to citizens. But at Tsimbazaza, the text has stalled. Its examination had already been postponed during the last ordinary session, without any real public explanation. Since then, radio silence. No debate initiated, no new deadline announced. And now, even the extraordinary session does not seem to reserve a place for it. A priority that apparently is not one. The contrast is striking. On one hand, the government multiplies speeches on refoundation, modernization of the State, good governance, and the need to restore trust between institutions and citizens. On the other, a text that would give citizens precisely more means to monitor public action remains in parliamentary drawers. The Ministry of Communication and Culture, directly concerned with questions of information access, is notably silent. No particular campaign to defend the text. No notable public reaction after its postponement. No explanation for its absence from the current agenda. A discretion that could almost pass for diplomatic prudence. It becomes more embarrassing, however, when it concerns a text meant to make transparency a governance principle. The context makes this delay even harder to understand. In March 2026, revelations from the Court of Accounts about damages suffered by the State caused a real shock. Billions of ariary at stake, management irregularities. In this context, a law on information access could have constituted a strong institutional response. It would have sent a clear signal that after scandals, more light should be shed on public management. Yet the opposite is taking shape. The text remains on the shelf. It is difficult, therefore, to completely rule out the hypothesis of a lack of political eagerness. For truly binding legislation on access to public documents would force the administration to be more open. It would also give journalists, researchers, civil society organizations, and ordinary citizens additional means to demand accountability. Meanwhile, the National Assembly is moving forward on other texts. Today, unless the program changes, deputies must examine in committees the bill on safe, secure, and peaceful use of nuclear technologies in Madagascar, the bill on electronic communications and digital infrastructure, as well as the overhaul of the law against cybercrime. Tomorrow, committees should consider ratification of the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime, known as the "Hanoi Convention."
