In terms of Section 89 of the Anti-Corruption Act, every candidate of elections should submit his Declaration of Assets and Liabilities to the Commissioner of Elections together with the nomination papers. In terms of Subsection 82(2) of this Act, such persons are required to make the Declaration of Assets and Liabilities of the relevant year up to the date of declaring the election date.
Accordingly, after the candidates of the upcoming Presidential Election submit their Declaration of Assets and Liabilities to the Elections Commission on 15th August 2024, which is the due date for submission of nomination papers, the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption will take action to obtain them.
The Commission will then publish a redacted version of the Declarations (excluding the sections required under Subsection 88 (1) of the Anti-Corruption Act) on its official website.
