Mbabane – Two of Eswatini’s public institutions have taken a step toward greater accountability this week, with the Board of Councillors and Executive Committee of the Eswatini Standards Authority and the Commissioner of the Eswatini Competition Commission submitting their written declarations of assets and liabilities to the Integrity Commission.
The submissions, made this week, fulfil a constitutional obligation placed on public officials and form part of a broader effort to promote transparency and ethical leadership across the Kingdom’s public enterprises.
The Integrity Commission, which operates under the Eswatini Commission on Human Rights and Public Administration, welcomed the move and described it as an example of the kind of accountability it wants to see from all constitutionally obligated officials.
The commission said the declarations promote openness and integrity in public service, strengthen compliance with constitutional requirements and reinforce good governance principles across public institutions.
It is now calling on other public officials who are required by the constitution to declare their assets and liabilities to come forward and do so. Officials who need to submit their declarations can contact the commission by emailing declarations@chrpa.org.sz or mkhwanazih@chrpa.org.sz.
