The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption has reported to the Speaker of Parliament that a significant number of Members of Parliament, totaling 20, have failed to submit their mandatory annual asset liability statements.

Despite the Parliament's efforts to ensure compliance through repeated reminders—three to be precise—the specified members have yet to fulfill their obligations.

The Parliament has expressed its intention to take necessary steps to expedite the submission process.

The deadline for the submission of these crucial documents, was set for June 30. 

Out of the 169 MPs required to submit their asset and liability declarations to the commission, a body dedicated to probing allegations of bribery or corruption, these 20 MPs stand out for their non-compliance.

The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption said that stringent action will be implemented against those who continue to disregard the law, in accordance with the provisions of the new Act designed to combat bribery and corruption.

In a related note, the Commission has highlighted that Ministers and State Ministers are obligated to submit their asset liability statements directly to the President.
