Unatumia bitcoins!, the process of fighting graft should never have to intrude on a persons right to privacy for legally acquired funds, i don't think eacc used wealth declaration forms anywhere when they unearthed corruption, some people can even be sent under or never live in peace again if they publicly declare their "wealth", is there enough security?. A forensic audit should always do if you are pursuing a suspect!

Declaring wealth may be exposing yourself to great risk. It's like making yourself a target to the many potential hunters and predators around, and some of them are the state, and gold diggers -he isn't married, is he?- and the like.

Assuming that this declaration is all there is, I wonder how many will be spurred by envy to have such wealth. Could it be that there's no guarantee that this gesture will reduce or discourage corruption and that in fact it will do the opposite?

@murchr, 'transparency' isn't so easy to find. For example, this may be the wealth that is under the name Bob. There might be other forms of wealth under a trust(s). Or, how much wealth does his interest in vodafone represent?

People can make all sorts of declarations like Ananias and Saphira, but only the good lord knows what's hidden.

He is a Briton

I guess those hunters and predators can only be found in Kenya. The rest of the world no one cares as long as you earn it the right way. That's why Forbes carries a list of the 1% money makers each year. Think about it, why should it be too hard for murchr to say that they own 2 chicken 4 cows and a house in Kinangop as assets?
