About 42% of public officers ‘fail’ declaration of assets test :: Mmegi Online

While the Ethics and Integrity Directorate (EID) has revealed expansion of the list of public officers required to declare their assets and liabilities, a large number remain non-compliant. Director General of EID Tiny Keseabetswe is not impressed with the compliance rate of 58.2%. At least 1672 public officers, including 13 Members of Parliament, are yet to declare their assets.

The consequences also seem not severe as the Directorate is yet to take action against any individual. She says the Directorate has not taken action against anyone and continues to encourage eligible declarants to declare in order to reach the 100% target.

Minister for State, President, Defence and Security, Moeti Mohwasa, recently revealed newly added categories, including procurement officers, project managers, engineers, licensing and inspection officers, and land board officials involved in adjudication, conveyancing, and technical processes.
