RON REDHEAD, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT (MP) FOR ST GEORGE NORTH-EAST SAID HE HAS NOT YET DECLARED HIS ASSETS TO THE INTEGRITY COMMISSION BECAUSE HE HAS NOT FOUND THE TIME TO DO SO.
DURING GBN’S TO THE POINT PROGRAMME ON WEDNESDAY, MINISTER REDHEAD WAS RESPONDING TO A QUESTION POSED BY A CALLER REGARDING THE DECLARATION OF HIS ASSETS.
THE MP DESCRIBED THE PROCESS OF DECLARING ASSETS TO THE INTEGRITY COMMISSION AS INVOLVING A LOT OF “DRAMA”.
THE 2013 INTEGRITY IN PUBLIC LIFE ACT REQUIRES EVERY INDIVIDUAL IN PUBLIC LIFE TO FILE A DECLARATION SETTING OUT PERSONAL PARTICULARS AND IN ADDITION, THOSE OF A SPOUSE AND CHILDREN.
SINCE THE ACT WENT INTO EFFECT, THE INTEGRITY COMMISSION HAS NOTIFIED ALL MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AND SEVERAL OTHERS AS LISTED IN THE LAW, TO DECLARE THEIR ASSETS.
THE MOST RECENT NOTIFICATION TO DECLARE ASSETS, ACCORDING TO SEVERAL MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT, WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2024.
THE DEADLINE WAS LATE OCTOBER.
ANYONE UNABLE TO DECLARE ASSETS BY THE DATES STATED IN THE NOTIFICATION CAN REQUEST AN EXTENSION OF TIME.
THE MP DID NOT DISCLOSE WHETHER OR NOT HE HAS REQUESTED ADDITIONAL TIME TO FILE HIS DECLARATION.
