The law on declaration of assets for the executive branch only talks about declaration of assets and displaying what has been declared but does not go further to include the auditing of the declared assets. The National Assembly is mandated under Section 213(4) of the Constitution to establish a committee to ensure compliance with the declaration of assets. However, the mandate of this committee is limited to ensuring compliance but does not cover the auditing of the asset declaration forms.
