Officials told to disclose financial assets

MORE officials in south China's Guangdong Province are being required to disclose their financial status as part of trials of a scheme combating corruption.

Shixing County's government will ask its 526 officials, including bureau chiefs and county heads, to declare their family assets after the Spring Festival, said Zheng Zhentao, Party chief of Shaoguan City, which administers Shixing, at the first session of the 12th Guangdong Provincial People's Congress.

Assets the officials will be required to declare include salaries, bonuses and subsidies, real estate holdings and investments, Zheng said.

Zheng said the officials' financial status would be available for inquiry on the government's intranet after the Spring Festival.

"We will make their financial assets known to the public in an appropriate way in the future under the guidance of the provincial discipline authorities."

Shixing is one of three regions in the province to pilot the scheme. The others are Nansha New District in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, and Hengqin New District in Zhuhai City.
