Conflict of Interest Act

The Conflict of Interest Act is a law designed to prevent situations where public officials may have personal interests that could improperly influence their decisions. It requires these officials to disclose any financial interests, relationships, or activities that might conflict with their public duties. The goal is to promote transparency and integrity in government by ensuring that decisions are made in the public's best interest, rather than personal gain. Violating this act can lead to penalties, emphasizing the importance of ethical conduct in public service.
