#panamapaper : I’ve Fully Complied With Law On Asset Declaration — Saraki by Nobody: 8:38pm On Apr 04, 2016 |
Senate President, Dr.
Abubakar Bukola Saraki
today said he has fully
complied with the
provisions of the law on
declaration of assets by
public officers.
In a reaction to the claim
contained in the Panama-
based offshore provider,
Mossack Fonseca and
shared by the
International Consortium
of Investigation
Journalists (ICIJ) that he
failed to declare assets
belonging to his wife, Mrs
Toyin Saraki, in secret
offshore territories, Saraki
said he has in his
different asset
declarations included
properties owned
individually by himself
and his wife.
The property in question
forms part of Dr. Saraki's
wife's family asset. It is
public knowledge that
Mrs. Saraki comes from a
family of independent
means and wealth with
numerous and varied
assets acquired over
decades in family estates
and investments.
"Furthermore, the law
only requires a public
officer to declare both his
own assets and those
held by his spouse and
his children under 18
years of age. The law
does not require a public
officer to declare assets
held by the spouse's
family.
"It is not expected by the
law that a public officer
should declare such
assets held in the
spouse's family estate.
Indeed, the Code of
Conduct form does not
make provision for
declaration of spouse's
family assets", he stated. http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/2/824200762?-395:737 |
