The Ethics in Government Act

The Ethics in Government Act is a law designed to promote transparency and accountability among public officials. It requires government employees, especially high-level officials, to disclose their financial interests, holdings, and sources of income to prevent conflicts of interest. The act also establishes rules to ensure officials make decisions based on public interest rather than personal gain. Its goal is to foster public trust by making government actions more open and ensuring officials are held accountable for their financial relationships and potential biases.
