Starting November 17, public officials, including politicians, ministers, and members of parliament, will no longer be exempt from declaring their assets and income. This mandate comes as Justice and Police Minister Harish Monorath issued a directive to implement the 2023 State Decree, which required only a final date for the availability of the declaration form on the Anti-Corruption Commission’s website. The process of asset declaration can now commence immediately, with a three-month window for compliance. The government has spent nearly two years since 2023 preparing the form for publication. The finalized form marks the starting point for recording the income and assets of public officials. The 2023 State Decree already outlined the rules for completing the form, which underwent revisions after the initial draft was deemed too intrusive for politicians. With acceptable adjustments, the form now allows for the declaration of assets and income. The decree also specifies how updates can be made after the initial registration. Notably, the Anti-Corruption Commission has been renamed the Corruption Prevention Commission (CPC), reflecting its updated mandate and powers. The CPC will not be responsible for protecting whistleblowers who report on public officials’ assets to the Attorney General. A new verification process for declared assets has been introduced, along with an independent investigation for significant increases in wealth. Additionally, a publication requirement has been established. The 2023 State Decree stipulates that asset declarations must be made before a notary, who will keep the completed form sealed. The form can only be transferred to the Attorney General, and after the official’s term ends, the declaration remains with the notary for one year. This measure is part of the 2017 Anti-Corruption Law, which is based on the Inter-American Convention against Corruption by the Organization of American States (OAS).
