AVAP advises MPs to declare assets

Anti Voter Apathy Project (AVAP) Executive Director Richwell Mulwani has urged government Ministers as well as Members of Parliament to comply with the requirements of asset declaration to avoid stripping off their assets after they leave office.

Mr. Mulwani indicated that asset declaration is important as it promotes transparency and credibility among public workers.

He urged all government officials not to be reluctant but to take the process seriously and declare assets as quickly as possible or they risk losing their assets if questioned on how they acquired them.

“We are living in a time when accountability needs to be enhanced,” he said.

ZANIS reports that article 263 of the amended constitution requires that a person holding public office shall, before assuming office or leaving office make a declaration of their assets and liabilities.

  1. It’s unfortunate that the UPND has began to ignore the standards and requirements that they demanded against the PF. I remember how Jack Mwiimbu used to speak so strongly in Parliament about these things. Please comply, it’s for your own good. Sean Tembo is in Court to try and compel Bally to do the same. We know most of you chaps and what you have, just like we know a good number of UPND MPs have many wives married under Customary Law so you can’t hide. You can be an MP in Mazabuka and hide your 3 wives in Shimabala but we know. Mufisa nji amambala?

  2. We warned you, ati change change new dawn kwisa? Kiss my black a.z.z. Upnd are corrupt hungry bunch

  3. Mbuzi Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee, nothing sensible ever comes from an arrogant pf cadre. Just pay K130,000 small debt owed. PF judges are still doing miscarriage of justice in our courts. How does a judge claim a “no progress” to a court case as dismissal – PF judges will make UPND unporpular.

  4. It was the lungu lead PF GRZ that made being in GRZ meant you were a businessman who was out to grow your business………..

    All PF got wealthier while the country got poorer

  5. HOW CAN YOU EXPECT CORRUPT PEOPLE UNDER PREVIOUS REGIMES TO DECLARE THEIR ASSETS
    IT WONT HAPPEN
    WHAT MAY HELP IS LIFE STYLE AUDITS !
