Sub-score (0-100). Question no. 44. In law, senior officials of the three branches of government (including heads of state and government, ministers, members of Parliament, judges, etc.) are required to disclose records of their assets and disclosures are public.
A 100 score is earned where in law all the following conditions are met:
1) senior officials of the three branches of government (including heads of state and government, ministers, members of Parliament, judges, etc.) must file asset disclosures,
2) disclosures must contain all assets and income belonging to them and their immediate family (including real estate, movable property, cash, salaries, and income from investments), and
3) disclosures must be available to the public.
A 0 score is earned where at least one of the following conditions apply:
1) no such law exists or it exists but it doesn't apply to all senior officials of the three branches of government,
2) the law requires so little information as to render the disclosures useless (e.g. it doesn't require disclosing assets of the immediate family, or requires citing real estate but not movable property, cash, salaries, and income from investments), or
3) the law doesn't make the disclosures public.
