In USA they publish all the public officers assets

Publicizing peoples’s assets is not good but the information should be copied to the interested enforcement agencies for necessary action at an appropriate time. Agencies such as the MRA , ACB and the Financial Intelligence Unit

Dzonzi you are stupid. You just love talking. You forget that you are part of the team that was drafting this law. This is the law that your mama Joyce assented to and you were quiet. You want to be relevant today? No wonder unkabwereza bwereza ku Chancol ulibe nzeru. So you want even thieves to know what we have so that you send them to rob us? Empty liar.

John, don’t take it at personal level with Dzonzi. I’ll d suggest that; all these positions applications for jobs must be accompanied by a list of assets owned and their certified value. That way no law enforcing agency will be seen or thought to be towing the line of anyone in the discharge of their duties

i have no problem with the law. Seriously, if i have declared my assets anyone wanting to know what I have should have a legitimate reason why they want to know. I am suspected of theft or corruption. But i wouldn’t want the application process to be difficult

Mr Dzonzi, Thats a good observation. What you do in that situation is to challenge the effectiveness or the application of that law by suing the Director of assets declaration or whatever his title is, argument being that he has misapplied the law on assets declaration, and let the judiciary interpret it purposively, taking into account the intention of parliament at the time of enactment. If it still doesnt work, lobby parliament for amendment. But Kudos for pointing this out. There is a price for being a public officer and the public officers should appreciate that because they have become… Read more »

No 9 Attorney General, can you tell this forum two ways only through which if these assets are made public they may be abused? Does this law select the individuals who can access that so called public information? Everybody who is working in Malawi pays P.E.Y.E every month to fund these public servants. Its just about me wanting to see that this money is not just being munched by someone hence i need to check on his wealth…..I totally agree with Justin Dzonzi. If anything just repeal this law and let them continue to eat our money freely. I hope… Read more »

We seem to be going back wards in this country. How are we going to make our corrupt leaders accountable if we enact such restrictive laws? Who passed this stupid law in the first place? It is not surprising that our inept corrupt leaders continue their crooked ways. We need to end corruption and if declaration of assets is not taken seriously we will continue to see abuse of office and resources. WE EITHER TAKE LAW IN OUR OWN HANDS AND DO AWAY WITH CORRUP ROT OR WE NEED TO CAHNGE THIS STUPID LAW.
