ADPD – The Green Party has criticised proposed changes to the declaration of assets for Cabinet members, warning the move could weaken transparency and accountability. Speaking during a press conference in front of Parliament, ADPD described the proposal as a “regressive” step that risks reducing scrutiny over those in power. Deputy Chairperson Melissa Bagley said the changes suggest a growing acceptance of reduced accountability, adding that ministerial asset declarations have not been published for some time.Bagley argued that ordinary citizens would face consequences for failing to follow similar rules, while politicians appear to be moving in the opposite direction. The party also warned that weakening oversight of ministers could damage public trust and undermine good governance. ADPD Chairperson Sandra Gauci called for stronger laws on unexplained wealth, saying stricter measures are needed to ensure elected officials remain fully accountable. She added that all members of parliament should be able to account for their assets, stressing that those in public office should lead by example. The party confirmed it does not support the proposed changes and said it would prioritise stronger accountability measures if elected to parliament. What do you make of this proposal?•
