APNC to pressure MPs to declare assets

THE Zimbabwean chapter of the African Parliamentarians Against Corruption (APNC) has revealed plans to make public an inventory of legislators who have complied with the asset declaration policy.

The APNC-Zimbabwe chapter said this is necessary to fight graft that is costing the country billions in lost revenue.

The country’s Constitution, in particular section 198, provides for regular disclosure of assets by public officials including parliamentarians.
