CIABOC grants grace period for assets and liabilities declarations

CIABOC has granted a one-week grace period until midnight on July 7, 2026, to submit assets and liabilities declarations.

The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) had earlier stated that the deadline to submit declarations of assets and liabilities would end today (June 30).

However, the Commission’s online system reportedly faced difficulties due to a large number of people trying to access it at the same time.

As a result, CIABOC has decided to grant a one-week grace period for those who were unable to complete their submissions due to the online system issue.

Accordingly, the relevant persons will be allowed to submit their declarations of assets and liabilities until midnight on July 7, 2026.

Under the Anti-Corruption Act No. 9 of 2023, all officers who are required to submit declarations of assets and liabilities must submit them online.

CIABOC Director General Ranga Dissanayake had earlier stated that fines and legal action could be taken against those who fail to submit their declarations within the required period.
