Compliance To Declare Assets Worries CSAT
The Centre for Social Accountability and Transparency (CSAT) has expressed concerns over the lack of commitment from public officers in Malawi to declare their assets, as mandated.

PAC Chairperson Joyce Chitsulo stated that Members of Parliament have shown full compliance, but the overall compliance rate among public officers remains unclear. The deadline for asset submission was April 30, 2022, but many have reportedly not adhered to this directive.
