The 2024 Asset Declaration Compliance Rate reflects the level of adherence to asset declaration requirements among public officials, demonstrating progress while identifying areas for improvement.
The accompanying infographics illustrates that out of 17,253 staff across 182 institutions, 15,712 officials (91.1%) successfully declared their assets, while 1,541 (8.9%) defaulted. This strong compliance rate signals growing adherence to anti-corruption policies but also highlights the need for increased enforcement.
The compliance rates across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) are as follows:
52 MDAs achieved 100% compliance.
51 MDAs recorded 90-99% compliance.
66 MDAs had 50-89% compliance.
13 MDAs fell below 50%, indicating poor adherence.
While many MDAs have shown commendable compliance, some institutions still lag, requiring closer monitoring.
Comparative Analysis (2009-2024)
A review of asset declaration trends over the years shows fluctuations in compliance. While initial years saw higher declaration targets, actual submissions often fell short. Recent years, however, indicate improvement, with compliance figures stabilizing as enforcement mechanisms strengthen.
The trend analysis shows that while a significant number of MDAs meet or exceed 50% compliance, a small fraction still struggles with adherence. The goal remains to push all institutions towards full compliance.
The pie chart analysis shows that a majority (91.1%) of staff complied, while 8.9% defaulted. Although the compliance rate is impressive, the existence of defaulters indicates the need for stricter measures, awareness campaigns, and accountability mechanisms.
The Anti-Corruption Commission remains committed to enhancing transparency and accountability by ensuring full compliance with asset declaration laws. These insights will guide future enforcement strategies and policy improvements.
