Ganesh Sittampalam

Joined WhatDoTheyKnow in 2008

Send message to Ganesh Sittampalam

I make a range of requests, mainly aimed at getting the raw material behind aspects of current affairs that interest me.

I'm also keen on holding public authorities to account when they persistently or wilfully breach the FOI Act.

I'm also a WhatDoTheyKnow volunteer, helping to run the site. Anything I do in this capacity will be explicitly marked as such; the rest of the time I don't represent anyone but myself.
