𝟮. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, the Ethics and Integrity Directorate was established by Section 4 of the Declaration of Assets and Liabilities Act No. 12 of 2019 as amended by Act No. 1 of 2020, to promote and reinforce integrity and accountability in public office, by ensuring compliance with the Declaration of Assets and Liabilities Act. It does this by monitoring the interests, income, assets and liabilities of certain categories of persons for the purpose of preventing and detecting corruption, money laundering and acquisition of property from proceeds of crime. Mr. Chairman, the Directorate is further mandated to collaborate with other entities in the development and promotion of standards and best practice to promote good ethical conduct.
𝟯. 𝗠𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, as promised in my last Committee of Supply speech and in-line with Section 3, subsection (1)(n) of the Declaration of Assets and Liabilities Act, the Directorate has included among the list of those who are required to declare, the following: -

The Directorate wrote to Ministries requesting submission of potential Declarants, in fields of work where there is a higher likelihood of risk which was positively responded to. Amongst the list submitted we selected the above.

𝟱. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, the Ethics and Integrity Directorate remains committed to fostering a culture of integrity and accountability within public office. In this regard, initiatives are underway to establish a robust asset declaration system, aimed at systematically monitoring the interests, income, assets, and liabilities of public officials. This initiative underscores the Directorate’s unwavering commitment to promoting accountability and ethical governance in public office.
𝟲. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, the Directorate is presently undertaking the digitization of its asset declaration system. The initial phase, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, involved the automation of the asset declaration form. This phase has been successfully completed and is ready for pilot implementation. The digitized form is expected to streamline the declaration process by providing declarants with improved accessibility and greater ease in submitting their declarations electronically.
𝟳. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, the second phase, entailing the development of the back-end system was supposed to have commenced in the 2025/2026 financial year but could not be, due to lack of resources. It is currently slated to commence in the 2026/2027 financial year. This phase will facilitate the processing of declarations, encompassing receipt and verification of submitted information to detect potential corruption, money laundering, or acquisition of assets derived from criminal proceeds. Additionally, it will establish a digital Register accessible to the public upon payment of a prescribed fee. The system will be designed to interface with external systems to enable verification of submitted data.
𝟴. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, the Directorate is presently at an advanced phase of establishing a Register, which will be made accessible to the public subject to the payment of a prescribed fee. The Register will include a list of individuals who have submitted their declarations, as well as those who have not complied after being served with a notice. The register will also contain a list of those who have been subjected to penalties for failure to declare.
𝟵. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, to raise awareness about the Ethics and Integrity Directorate and its role in promoting ethical behavior and accountability in the public office and society, strides continue to be made to educate the public, generate interest and encourage public participation in promoting integrity. The Directorate followed a whole of society approach ensuring mainstreaming of ethics in all parts of society.
𝟭𝟬. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, regarding Declarant Education, workshops were held throughout the country to facilitate declaration of Assets and Liabilities.

Furthermore, the Directorate continued training Parastatals, Local Authorities and other stakeholders.
𝟭𝟭. 𝗠𝗿. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, Partnerships were facilitated with Media Partners to facilitate dissemination of information on the mandate of the EID and coverage of events.
