If one cannot account for what they own, they probably acquired it in a corrupt manner.
Still, the government will be able to assess one’s wealth before and after joining a public office to establish if there was a misuse of public resources.
Teachers are among the public servants who will benefit from the virtual declaration of their wealth through an online platform.
The Official TSC portal allows teachers to easily declare their wealth is a straightforward process.
Read this guide on how to fill the Wealth Declaration Form, online, for all teachers and TSC Staff. Hope it will be helpful.
