Goa public functionaries asked to declare assets, liabilities

The Goa Lokayukta today asked the public functionaries in the state to file details of their assets and liabilities for the financial years between 2012 and 2016 by the end of next month.
The public functionaries include legislators, MPs, chairpersons of various government corporations, among others.
Several MLAs had failed to file their statement of assets and liabilities before the state Lokayukta, which is mandatory as per the law.
"In the last financial year, only 28 out of 40 MLAs had filed their statements," a senior official attached to Lokayukta said.
The Lokayukta issued the public notice today asking the public functionaries to file their statement of assets and liabilities before June 30.

"The details should be filed as defined in section 2(q) of the Goa Lokayukta Act, 2011 in the prescribed format in Form III," the notice reads.
"Those who have not submitted their statement of Assets and Liabilities in the prescribed proforma for the financial years 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 should file the same before June 30," the notice adds.
The non-compliance with the above requirement shall attribute the consequences provided in sub-section (2) of section 21 of the Goa Lokayukta Act 2011, it adds.
