On the other hand, one does not see what kind of "duly substantiated grounds" can justify the "secrecy" of the information detained by the administration in the confronts of the Ombudsman, as this one, as well as his staff, is also bounded by the same duty of secrecy as the institutions. Not to mention that any contribution of the Ombudsman to improve good administration is also in the interest of the institutions.
Daarenboven is niet in te zien welke “met redenen omklede motieven” een dergelijke “geheimhouding” en onthouding van informatie door de bestuurlijke instanties aan de Ombudsman zouden kunnen rechtvaardigen, aangezien deze, evenals zijn personeel, tot dezelfde geheimhouding verplicht is als de instellingen.
