The DCEO must strictly enforce asset declaration laws  e281w

 

ASSET declaration, a critical tool for preventing corruption and ensuring transparency, ability, and public trust, is a legal requirement for public officials to disclose their financial assets and interests. 

Asset declarations are designed to identify potential conflicts of interest and unjustified wealth, thereby deterring and detecting corruption among public servants. 

They also enhance overall transparency and ability in government. Importantly, asset disclosures help foster public trust in state institutions – a vital element in a country like Lesotho, where corruption is rampant in the civil service and other societal strata. 

Yet it is deeply concerning that the vast majority of Lesotho’s government officials, including legislators and senators, have failed to comply with this crucial anti-corruption measure. 

Recent data is alarming – of the 1,044 Lesotho’s public officials required to declare their assets in the 2024-2025 reporting period,.
