NRSA wants all officials in procurement to declare assets and debts

THE National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) Monday unanimously approved its anti-graft reform committee’s proposals that require all governmental boards and officials involved in state procurement to declare their assets and debts.

Endorsed by 168 votes, the proposals say that the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Civil Service Commission should amend relevant laws on financial disclosures.
The NACC currently requires only political office holders and high-ranking officials to disclose their assets.
The proposals also say that it should be clearly stipulated which officers are responsible for procurement and at which administrative level.
