Dominica: The country’s Integrity Commission has served notice to public officers, parliamentarians and others who fall under that body’s scope that they have just over two months to make the annual financial disclosure to the Commission, according to a report on Dominica NewsOnline.
According to a release by the Commission, “….All persons in public life:- including all members of the House of Assembly, Ministers of Government, Chairmen and Managers of public institutions and Permanent Secretaries and other senior public officers – must file their declarations for the income year ended December 31, 2011 no later than March 31, 2012”.
The DNO stated that the Commission cites the Integrity in Public Office Act, 2003, of the Laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica which states that “a person holding any office or position set out in Part I of the First Schedule to [the] Act…” or “persons acting continuously for a period of not less than six months in any office set out in Part II of the First Schedule to [the] Act… shall file a declaration with the Commission setting out:- (a)his office or offices; (b) his income, assets and liabilities; (c)the assets of his wife, children or relative acquired through or traceable to his income; and (d) gifts made by him in value exceeding one thousand dollars.”
