Srilanka, June 15 -- The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has directed all public officials that annual asset and liability declarations must be submitted by June 30, warning that failure to comply will result in mandatory penalties.



Issuing a special statement, CIABOC Director General Ranga Dissanayake said individuals who do not submit their declarations before the deadline will be subject to fines, which he described as "unavoidable and substantial."



He further cautioned that non-compliance could also lead to legal proceedings under Section 80(1) of the Anti-Corruption Act No. 9 of 2023, which requires all designated individuals to file their declarations by June 30 each year.
