Ombudsman targets wealth declaration defaulters

The Office of the Ombudsman has written to several government institutions, demanding that their employees explain why action should not be taken against them for failure to observe the wealth declaration law. By June 30, this year, of the 7,058 civil servants supposed to declare their wealth, 6,975 had complied, according to figures from the Ombudsman’s office, something that riled the anti- corruption body.
