Afghanistan's High Office of Oversight: Personal Asset Declarations of High Ranking Afghan Government Officials are not Consistently Registered and Verified

Abstract

Article 154 of the Afghan Constitution requires that "the wealth of the President, Vice-Presidents, Ministers, members of the Supreme Court, as well as the Attorney General, shall be registered, reviewed and published prior to and after their term of office by an organ established by law." In July 2008, the Afghan Parliament passed the "Law on Overseeing the Implementation of the Anti-Administrative Corruption Strategy," which established the High Office of Oversight (HOO) to oversee and coordinate national efforts to combat corruption. Article 12(1) states that "The High Office of Oversight shall register and address the asset [sic] of the officials mentioned in Article 154 of the Afghanistan Constitution and publishes when needed."
