IMF has flagged inadequacies in Kenya’s draft laws aimed at aligning the asset declaration and conflict of interest legal frameworks with international standards.
Annet Twine, the Inspectorate of Government Director of Leadership Code, said online systems will also help new leaders to register, generate an invitation to declare wealth and how to fill the declaration form and submit it to the IGG using the IG-ODS.

“The leaders do wealth declaration bi-annually including the month of March. New leaders will be registered and are required to fill the online form within three months,” said Twine. She said the newly elected members of parliament will do their wealth declaration in June 2021, after the swearing-in ceremony.
“Leaders leaving office are required to fill the declaration forms within six months from the time of leaving office. This is so that their names are deleted from the IG-ODS system,” she added.
