67. Are there provisions for conflict of interests for candidates and/or elected officials?

Leaders shall not put themselves in positions in which their personal interests conflict with their duties and responsibilities. Section 38 of The Public Enterprises Reform and Divestiture Act 1993 provides that subject to subsection (2) and except for the purposes of, or in connection with, carrying out their duties and responsibilities in accordance with this law, none of the following persons or any associate of theirs shall participate, directly or indirectly, in the purchase of a public enterprise: the minister responsible for finance and officials and staff in this official’s ministry; the responsible minister and officials and staff in his or her ministry; the relevant line minister and officials and staff in his or her ministry; members of the committee; any person advising the government in relation to the divestiture of the enterprise; and each chief executive, director, secretary, manager or other employee of the enterprise.
