The Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) has recently received a report alleging that two public servants from the Social Welfare Bureau violated the provision of exclusivity by engaging in unauthorized part-time work and providing false information in their declarations of assets and interests.
The two public servants in question have been employed in the public service for over a decade.
Following an investigation by the CCAC, it was revealed that both individuals had been involved in providing wedding services for financial gain and operating a related business privately without obtaining prior permission from their department.
The investigation findings indicate that the duo knowingly took risks and deliberately made false declarations, despite being aware of the requirement to seek permission for part-time work and accurately disclose details of their income in their asset and interest declarations.
The two public servants are suspected of committing the offense of providing “inaccurate data,” as outlined in the Legal Regime of Declaration of Assets and Interests.
The case has been referred to the Public Prosecutions Office for further handling. Staff reporter
