Speaker of the National Assembly, Samuel Sitta
Stern measures will be taken against Members of Parliament who will not return official forms explaining list of properties they own by December 31, this year.
The Speaker of the National Assembly, Samuel Sitta, gave the warning here yesterday when reminding the MPs to collect the forms and fill in before the set dead line.
The order was made at the end of the question and answer session yesterday.
Ho would not however mention MPs who had not submitted the forms.
`I want to remind you that last year some MPs did not meet the deadline. I tolerated them, but this year I will not allow such a thing to happen again,` said Sitta.
He said that any Member of Parliament who would not return the forms to his office, legal actions will be taken against him or her.
He told legislators that the forms were so important that they should not be disregarded.
`If you will not submit your forms by December 31, this year you will face a big problem, hence I urge you to fill in the forms fast before the deadline,` said Sitta.
All public leaders are supposed to fill in the forms every year in order to list properties they own.
Under the Leadership and ethical code, leaders in the higher echelons of the government are required to declare their properties with the Ethics Commission within a few months after being elected or appointed.
