Wealth Declaration Form- Parliament of Kenya

In 2026, the framework for transparency among Kenya’s top leaders has been significantly strengthened. The traditional wealth declaration under the Public Officer Ethics Act, 2003 has been enhanced by the Conflict of Interest Act, 2025. For those serving in the Parliamentary Service Commission, the National Assembly, or the Senate, the Declaration of Income, Assets, and Liabilities (DIAL) is the primary tool for preventing illicit enrichment and managing potential conflicts of interest.

FAQ: Wealth Declaration in the 2025–2027 Cycle

Q: What is the “Statement Date” for the current cycle?

A: For the standard biennial declaration, the statement date is November 1st of the year in which the declaration is required. In 2026, many officers are finalizing their records for the December 31st, 2025 deadline or preparing for initial declarations upon new appointments.

Q: Who must I include in my declaration?

A: Under the Conflict of Interest Act, 2025, you are legally required to declare the income, assets, and liabilities of:

Yourself (the public officer).
Your Spouse or Spouses.
Dependent Children under the age of 18 years.

Q: What exactly counts as an “Asset”?

A: The 2025 Act provides a comprehensive list. You must disclose:

Immovable Property: Land (state LR No. and acreage) and buildings.
Movable Property: Motor vehicles (model and Reg. No.), furniture, and equipment.
Financial Assets: Bank accounts (local and international), shares, and business interests.
Other Interests: Any financial obligations owed to you by others.

Q: What happens if I have assets outside Kenya?

A: You are strictly required to declare all foreign-held assets. The 2025 regulations emphasize that joint accounts and properties held outside the country must be included to ensure full financial transparency.

Q: Is there a digital filing option?

A: Yes. The Parliamentary Service Commission encourages the use of the Online DIAL Portal. If you submit electronically, a physical signature is no longer necessary, provided the system generates a valid “Acknowledgment Slip” for your records.

Q: What are the penalties for non-compliance?

A: Failing to file, making a false declaration, or providing misleading clarifications is a serious offense. Under the new law, this can lead to:

Disciplinary Action: Including suspension or dismissal.
Criminal Prosecution: Fines or imprisonment as prescribed under the Act.
EACC Investigation: Automatic flagging for a lifestyle audit.

Pro-Tips for Accurate Filing

Be Legible: If using the manual PDF, ensure you print clearly. Scanners for digital archiving can misread handwriting.
Confidentiality: If submitting a physical form, place it in a sealed envelope labeled “Declaration of Income, Assets and Liabilities” and include your Job Group on the outside.

Extra Sheets: If your assets exceed the space provided, use additional sheets but ensure each page is signed and clearly references the paragraph being continued.
