ACC Gives Deadline For Declaration of Assets by Public Officers

In bid to prevent corruption and enhance Transparency  among Public Officer, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has informed all Public Officers that are yet to Declare their Assets, Income and Liabilities for the 2022 Declaration Year, that a One Week Extension has been given and the Online Portal reopened starting today 19th October, 2023, to Midnight Thursday 26th October, 2023.

It is incumbent on public officers to declare their assets as provided for by Section 119 (1) of the Anti-Corruption Act 2008 (as Amended in 2019). This requirement is mandatory for officers in Grade 7 and above, or with those of lower grades who have fiduciary responsibilities.

The Commission urges all defaulters to use this opportunity to ensure they comply and make their declaration as failure to do so will attract punitive sanctions.

Defaulters are also reminded that by this and previous notices, the Commission will invoke Administrative Sanctions against Public Officers that will fail to meet this deadline, including withholding Salaries.
